“Martin is an intelligent defender and he’s good on the ball,” explained Marc Wilmots on behalf of the management. “Although he’s only 20 years old, he’s already played more than 40 games in Belgium’s top division. As well as this experience, Martin brings with him lots of desire to continue developing here auf Schalke.”

Wasinski is looking forward to turning out in blue and white: “In my talks with the Schalke 04 management, they showed me how I would fit into the team and into this great club with a storied heritage. I can hardly wait to get started with training next week.”

The right-footed defender transferred to Sporting Charleroi after spells at his youth clubs US Hesbignonne and Stade Waremme in 2018, making his first-team debut for the club aged just 17. He was then sent out on loan to KV Kortrijk in January 2023, where he played before moving to Schalke. Wasinski made 17 appearances for the Belgian youth national sides, most recently in the U20s age group.
