Soufian El-Faouzi

Soufian El-Faouzi transferred from Alemannia Aachen to Schalke 04 in July 2025 for a reported fee of €200,000. By January 2026, reports mentioned offers of at least €8.5 million. In March 2026, the asking price was reportedly up to €10 million. A flurry of reports in May 2026 indicated Schalke's asking price was consistently around €12 million (or £10M), with some sources suggesting it could be as high as €15-16 million. During this time, an official €11 million offer from Shabab Al Ahli was reportedly rejected, while Galatasaray was linked with a €10 million bid and other suitors were reportedly willing to pay up to €13 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was noted at €4 million. Following his contract extension in July 2026, reports stated an offer 'well above 10 million euros' would be necessary.

Our valuation is driven by multiple consistent reports from May 2026 setting Schalke's asking price for Soufian El-Faouzi between €12M and €13M, corroborated by a rejected official offer of €11M from Shabab Al Ahli. The player's recent contract extension to 2030 strengthens the club's negotiating position, supporting a value at the higher end of the rumoured range, with some reports even suggesting a potential sale price of up to €16M.
