Heidel announces an imminent Meyer decision

Gelsenkirchen (SID) Sports director Christian Heidel from Bundesliga soccer club Schalke 04 has announced an imminent decision on Max Meyer (22). “Max will decide shortly whether he wants to stay at Schalke beyond the summer,” said Heidel in an interview with Amazon Music: “Max is very happy here, Schalke is his home. We are trying to make it economically palatable for him "as we can". The national player's contract expires at the end of the season. "He's having the best season of his life. The coach found a position for him that Max didn't believe in. Personally, I didn't either. I don't think anyone would have that," said Heidel. Meyer made his debut for Schalke professionals in 2013 at the age of 17 in the Champions League round of XNUMX against Galatasaray Istanbul. Heidel also made it clear once again that the loan from world champion Benedikt Höwedes to the Italian record champions Juventus Turin did not come from Schalke. "He explained to me in a very long conversation at home that he was interested in the World Cup and he didn't have the feeling that he had a high probability of playing with us," said Heidel: "I told him clearly that "We don't actually want to do this loan deal with Juventus. But he asked for it urgently and ultimately we didn't want to be responsible for ruining the World Cup for him if he didn't get the necessary appearances." Heidel does not see the current strike issue regarding some transfers at home and abroad as dramatic: "The boys who believe they have to take this route are the absolute minority. We are sorry that Dortmund has been affected twice with strange changes. But I'm sure that something like this happened ten years ago, it's just that nobody noticed or cared about it." Former Dortmund players Ousmane Dembele (FC Barcelona) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal FC) had provoked their departure from BVB before their moves.
