Florian Flick completes permanent move to 1. FC Nürnberg

“Florian used those six months at Nürnberg in order to gain match practice and further his own development. The competition within the centre midfielders in our squad remains high, which is why we were able to find a solution together,” said André Hechelmann, S04 sporting director. “Florian will always have a special place in the hearts of all Schalke fans due to being part of our promotion-winning squad. We wish him all the best, both on and off the pitch, in Nuremberg.”

Flick joined the Schalke reserves in summer 2020 from third-tier side Waldhof Mannheim. He made the leap to the first team the following year, going on to feature 27 times in Bundesliga 2 and in 12 games in the Bundesliga (1 goal) for the club.
