Some are drawn to Gelsenkirchen, others may be attracted by the reputation of the desert and money.
But it is not yet fixed that Rodrigo Zalazar and Amin Younes will face new challenges.
Defender Zalazar, who will turn 22 on August 12, has become the focus of Rouven Schröder, who as sports director of Bundesliga relegated FC Schalke 04 is working on a new team that has the potential to immediately rise again.
Attacker Amin Younes, who will turn 28 on Friday, has taken a look at a possible involvement in Arabia.

Progress is currently slow on the football transfer market.
In times of Corona, every investment worth millions needs to be carefully checked.
Even at Eintracht, where the kickers started training again on the field on Tuesday afternoon.
In a few days it will be serious for the team of coach Oliver Glasner, who wants to take the first-round hurdle in the DFB Cup with his new squad.
A win at the third division club SV Waldhof Mannheim on Sunday (3:30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the DFB Cup and on Sky) is a must.
Zalazar should no longer help to keep the Waldhof boys at a distance - Younes can. Zalazar, who was recently loaned to the second division club FC St. Pauli and played a strong season with the Hamburg team, just like Dejan Joveljic, was not present at the start of training in a new working week. His departure to Schalke seems to be only a matter of time, whereas the proposed transfer from Joveljic to LA Galaxy is imminent. For Zalazar it had become tight on the defensive at Eintracht, there the crush is particularly large. "We have a lot of players in this position," said Eintracht coach Glasner. “We're trying to find solutions.” This also applies to Ali Akman, who was also released to talk to other clubs.
