According to reports from 'WAZ', S04 would not obstruct the departure of Ibrahima Cissé and would permit him to leave on a free transfer. Cissé has recently been linked with Belgian club Standard Liège, where he would reunite with sporting director Marc Wilmots, an old companion from their time at Schalke.

Ibrahima Cissé, considered a 'problem-professional,' may be released by Schalke via a severance package, although his contract runs until 2026.

Ibrahima Cissé, a Malian player, has overestimated his abilities and has failed with all coaches, including Kees van Wonderen. He is no longer playing for Schalke. According to BILD information, there are inquiries for him. A loan deal with a purchase option is realistic.

Ibrahima Cissé is on the sidelines at Schalke 04 due to numerous conflicts with club officials and teammates, as well as unprofessional behavior. Despite having a contract until 2026, Schalke is eager to sell the Malian defender in the winter transfer window. If a sale is not possible, a loan is also considered.
