Robin Gosens arrives in Gelsenkirchen to join Schalke on loan

Published Jul 16, 10:06 AM UTC

Robin Gosens, the 32-year-old German international left-back, has arrived in the Ruhr region to join FC Schalke. He landed at 11:34 AM on a private Pilatus PC-12 NGX from Florence, accompanied by his wife, children, and dog. Gosens will undergo a medical check in Gelsenkirchen, which may extend until Friday due to intensive tests. If cleared, he will sign a one-year loan deal from Fiorentina. Schalke has an option to buy him for approximately €1.5 million if he helps the club avoid relegation with sufficient appearances. Gosens will earn just over €100,000 per month (around €1.3 million annually), placing him among Schalke's top earners alongside Loris Karius and Kenan Karaman. Fiorentina will supplement his salary. Gosens is expected to join the team at their training camp in Neustift, Austria, and could debut in a friendly against Erzgebirge Aue. A lifelong Schalke fan, Gosens is fulfilling a personal dream.
