Jesper Lindstrom near transfer from Napoli to Schalke 04

Danish winger Jesper Lindstrom is close to completing a move from Serie A club Napoli to newly promoted Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04. Napoli confirmed the player will miss the Castel di Sangro pre‑season camp, a clear sign the transfer is in its final stages.

Reports indicate a basic agreement has been reached, with both clubs working on the contractual details. Napoli hopes to recover part of the roughly €30 million it spent on Lindstrom’s 2023 signing, after his market value plummeted from about €28 million to €4 million following an injury‑hit season at Wolfsburg. Schalke view the deal as an opportunity to revive the 26‑year‑old’s career and strengthen their squad for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.
