No other German footballing media sources are picking up on the rumor at this time. Much as was the case with a story surfacing earlier today involving Spanish veteran Borja Iglesias Quintas a deal of such magnitude seems highly unlikely. Simon Rolfes and the B04 administrative team merely seek a back up for Patrick Schick until Boniface returns from injury for the latter stages of the season. Moreover, Kean himself has been sidelined with shin problems since mid-December.
