Robin Gosens set to leave Fiorentina for Schalke 04

Robin Gosens has been excluded from Fiorentina's pre‑season squad and was not called up for the club's summer training retreat. Although he visited the Viola Park on his own, club officials confirmed he remains outside Fiorentina's technical plans.

The Italian side has confirmed that a departure is imminent, with German club Schalke 04 identified as the most likely destination. Sources note that Gosens' reduced performances, injury record and the change in Fiorentina's tactical system have prompted the decision, while Schalke is reportedly preparing a bargain deal to bring the 32‑year‑old left‑back back to the Bundesliga.
