Schalke 04 plans to extend contract with Ralf Fährmann in order to lower salary costs
The 32-year-old goalkeeper is earning a whopping 2.6 million euros per year until 2023 - Schalke feel this is too high for a single player in the 2. Bundesliga.

However, Bild reports the veteran's salary would not be reduced until the 2022/23 season, provided the Schalke number one then has to sit on the bench more often.
Fährmann is currently out with a corona infection, and Michael Langer is standing in for him between the posts.
