According to BILD, indications suggest a permanent move to Gelsenkirchen for Kevin Müller. The transfer is expected to be finalized before the start of training. Müller stated that he has an ongoing contract in Heidenheim and that they are in talks. He added that both Schalke and he have said that they can envision continuing to work together.

Talks are ongoing with loan player Kevin Müller from Heidenheim. Baumann stated that both players would like to stay at Schalke and that the club envisions that. He added that they have to clarify this with the clubs the players are contracted to and determine if a solution can be found.

Kevin Müller, a backup goalkeeper who was previously on loan, is set to be permanently signed by 1. FC Heidenheim, a club relegated from the Bundesliga. The podcast 'Schalker Markt' reported that the completion of the signing is expected soon.

Schalke 04 coach Miron Muslic said that Kevin Müller had made a very good impression from day 1 in January and had an important role as number 2. According to BILD, Schalke's management intends to start negotiations for a permanent transfer once Heidenheim's league status is certain. Kevin Müller stated that it is no secret that he can very well imagine staying. He added that the first signals have been sent and that they now have to see what happens. BILD also reports that Heidenheim has no further use for Müller, which could lead to quick negotiations, potentially making him Schalke's first new signing for the Bundesliga.
