Saturday evening: The Bundesliga game between Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen is overtime. In the left half, Rodrigo Zalazar creates space with a spin and plays a dream pass into Dominick Drexler’s path with a backspin, who lets the ball roll over the goal line to make it 2-1.
A goal that not only pleased the S04 fans in the arena, but also the FC Torino scout who was present. As Tuttosport reports, the Serie A club has been watching both Zalazar and Drexler for a while. Incidentally, Marvin Ducksch had previously given Werder the lead. Turin’s interest in the striker has been known for a long time.
But back to the Schalke duo: Drexler is tied to S04 until 2024. It is quite conceivable that the 32-year-old would stay even if he were relegated. Zalazar’s contract runs until 2026. ‘Tuttosport’ is bringing four million euros into play for Schalke’s 23-year-old creative head – it’s questionable whether that would be enough. Although the ‘Sport Bild’ recently reported that Zalazar wants to leave S04 in the summer. Maybe towards Italy?
