“We knew that Assan would attract interest from other clubs because of his qualities and his contract situation. We prepared for that in our transfer planning,” explained Marc Wilmots on behalf of the management. “Assan has shown how much potential he has both during his successful time in the youth academy and his 17 first-team matches. He’ll always be welcome at Schalke. We thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future, both in his sporting career and his personal life.”
