After Clemens Tönnies had said in response to a question last week that he - in the event that Schalke asks for help again - would be ready to help the club, Schalke reportedly contacted him.
Tönnies offered to extend an advertising contract on a long-term basis.
Estimated volume: twelve million euros.
This amount could have been forfaited;
that is, Schalke could have had a large part of the total paid out when the contract was signed, i.e. immediately.
Tönnies only set one condition, but it was not met. Now the former club patriarch speaks in WELT am SONNTAG.
