Gerald Asamoah is leaving Schalke 04 at the end of the season. The former World Cup runner-up will not receive a new contract.
The club is in major financial difficulties and threatens to be relegated. If the decline continues, there is a risk of bankruptcy for Gelsenkirchen, who are currently 14th in the table, two points above the relegation zone. The long-time Champions League participant has liabilities of 168 million euros and negative equity of 103.3 million, which must be reduced.
