“Pape knew that it would be difficult for him to get as much playing time as he’d hoped for here. After open and honest talks about his future, we searched for a solution together and have now found one. We wish Pape all the best for the future and thank him for his efforts at Schalke,” said Youri Mulder, S04’s director of professional football.
