Christian Gomis, a 25-year-old Senegalese-Spanish centre-forward, was the most expensive new signing last summer with a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros but was not successful. He is facing a loan move to Austria Wien. It is reported that there is a high probability the deal will be finalized. His contract with Schalke 04 is valid until June 30, 2029, and his current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
