“Levo is a young player, who needs nothing more than regular football to take that next step. We were honest and open with him, and told him that this would be difficult at Schalke. As a result, a transfer is the best option for all involved. We hope that Levo takes his chance in the Süper Lig,” explained sporting director Rouven Schröder.

Levent Mercan joined FC Schalke 04 in summer 2016 from Rot-Weiss Essen’s U17s.
