If Schalke can wrap their shopping up with Mertens, they're going to be a very interesting team next season...despite losing Goretzka & Meyer for free. Uth, Serdar & Sane already signed for next season; Geis coming back from Sevilla for Tedesco to fix (the way his buddy Nagelsman fixed Demirbay); and they have a raft of young talents that are close to breaking through at the senior level with Krüger, Wright, Goller, Taitague, Kübler, Can, etc.
As things stand they're looking at something like:
FW: Uth | Burgstaller | Embolo | Teuchert
AM: Harit | Konoplyanka | Serdar
DM: McKennie | Bentaleb | Geis
LWB: Ozcipka | Baba
RWB: Caliguri | Schopf
CB: Kehrer | Nastasic | Sane | Stambouli | Naldo
Nevermind that the 50M euro man, Donis Avdijaj is coming back from loan as well
