Vitalie Becker has denied that contract talks with Schalke 04 have failed, stating this is not true. He said he feels comfortable at Schalke, has never said he wanted to leave, and is fully focused on the club and the ongoing preparations. Lazio Rom has reportedly shown interest in Becker, whose contract expires next year. He has so far rejected extension offers from Schalke 04, and the Italians are said to be waiting for a possible free transfer next year. Becker stated that talks are taking place, but it is not a topic for him during preparations. He added that he is very relaxed because his agent is taking care of everything and is in good contact with Frank Baumann and Max Lüftl.

According to Sky Sport, Lazio is interested in Vitalie Becker, a 21-year-old left-back who plays for Schalke 04. Becker has a contract with Schalke 04 until the summer of 2027. Negotiations for the player are considered complicated because Lazio would need to reach a financial agreement with the German club. Lazio continues to monitor the situation and president Lotito would be ready to proceed to secure a transfer, potentially for next summer, if Becker does not renew his contract.
