In an interview with Sport Bild, Julian Draxler stated that if sporting director Frank Baumann asked him to come back to Schalke one day to support him, he probably would not say no.

Julian Draxler, the 31-year-old German attacker, talked about the possibility of returning to Schalke 04 during an interview with 'Bild'. He revealed that he had considered this option before his move to Qatar, though he had not been in direct contact with Schalke 04. Draxler, who signed a three-year contract in Qatar, expressed doubts about his ability to contribute to Schalke when he turns 35. Despite his impressive performance at Al Ahli, where he scored twelve goals and provided nine assists in 18 league games, Draxler remains unsure about rejoining his former club. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €3.80 million.
