Schalke confirm imminent arrival of defensive reinforcement
Last-placed FC Schalke 04 have confirmed that, pending a passed medical, Finnish fullback Jere Uronen will be unveiled as a new signing tomorrow.
FC Schalke 04 have obtained a defensive reinforcement in the form of 61-times-capped Finland fullback Jere Uronen. The 28-year-old is set to join the Königsblauen on a six-month-loan-deal from Ligue 1 side Stade Brest. Assuming the defender passes a medical tomorrow, he will be unveiled as a January addition.
Germany's Kicker magazine reports that Schalke have secured an non-compulsory purchase option that the club may exercise whether they find themselves relegated from the Bundesliga or not. The left-back, perhaps best known for his successful years competing in Europe with K.R.C Genk, maintains an estimated market value of €1 million.
Peter Knäbel über Jere #Uronen: Wir haben sowohl mit dem Spieler als auch dem abgebenden Club eine mündliche Einigung erzielt. Jetzt stehen noch der Medizincheck und einige regulatorische Prozesse aus. Ziel ist es, dass Jere morgen in Belek ankommt. #S04 pic.twitter.com/NychlwWaLu
