Schalke Close to Signing Jesper Lindstrøm
A reported basic agreement would give the 26-year-old a chance to rebuild his career with Napoli seeking to recoup part of its 2023 fee.
Overview
- Multiple German and Italian outlets report that negotiations are at an advanced stage and that Lindstrøm has reached a basic agreement with newly promoted FC Schalke 04.
- Lindstrøm played a limited, injury-hit season at Wolfsburg with four starts and 11 substitute appearances that included relegation playoff matches versus Paderborn.
- Transfermarkt valuations show his market value fell sharply from about €28 million before 2023 to around €4 million after the 2025–26 season.
- Napoli, which paid roughly €30 million for Lindstrøm in 2023, is reported to want to recover part of that outlay while the exact transfer fee to Schalke remains unclear.
- If completed, the move would be Lindstrøm’s chance to revive his club form and Denmark prospects and should be followed for the final medical, fee details and official club announcement.
