Derry Murkin, a left-back, has been signed by FC Utrecht from FC Schalke. Murkin has signed a contract with FC Utrecht until 2029. The base transfer fee is 1.2 million Euros, potentially rising to 1.5 million Euros with bonuses. Schalke had to make a decision one year before the contract ended as Murkin did not want to extend his contract with Schalke. Schalke's Director of Professional Football, Youri Mulder, mentioned that the economic conditions of the transfer were appropriate considering Murkin's age, contract duration, and market value.

Derry Murkin is set to move to the Dutch Eredivisie. According to 'Sport Bild', the left-back will undergo a medical examination at FC Utrecht on Friday. The two clubs have agreed on the transfer. Schalke will receive around one million euros as a base fee, with additional bonuses possible depending on performance. Murkin was a regular at Schalke last season, appearing in 33 matches. In 2023, he transferred from FC Volendam to Schalke for 800,000 euros.

FC Utrecht is set to sign Derry John Murkin from Schalke 04. Utrecht has been working for some time to secure the left-back's move, and it is now expected to succeed. The 25-year-old Murkin, who was born in England but grew up in the Netherlands, is likely to sign a four-year contract with Utrecht, where he will replace Souffian El Karouani, who aims for a higher step in his career. Murkin joined Schalke two years ago for approximately €800,000 and has been a regular player this season.

FC Utrecht have made an official offer to Schalke 04 for Derry Murkin, with negotiations still ongoing as the offer remains on the table. The transfer value for Murkin is estimated at approximately two million euros, according to a report by Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports. Murkin is contracted with Schalke until 2026 and has appeared in 53 official matches for the club, scoring one goal and providing nine assists. The 25-year-old left-back, trained at FC Volendam, moved to Schalke in 2023, where he became a key player. Utrecht's pursuit of Murkin may be linked to the anticipated departure of their current left-back, Souffian El Karouani, who nearly joined PSV in January and continues to draw interest from other clubs.
