Fortuna Düsseldorf sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel has denied a report from Bild that the club have accepted a €9 million offer from Schalke 04 for Benito Raman.


"I'm surprised by the reports. There can be no talk of an agreement," said Pfannenstiel, according to DPA, and added:

"Benito Raman is a Fortuna Düsseldorf player with a contract until 2022. Nothing has changed to this day."

"A transfer would only come into consideration if Benito had clearly and concisely expressed a wish to leave and if we were offered a transfer fee in line with the market. And the €9 million fee that was mentioned would certainly not be in line with the market."

Raman scored 11 goals in 32 appearances for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2018/19 season.
