Unhredibly exciting profile: Schalke gets defense talent Cissé

Cissé has only completed two professional missions for Ghent, in the Belgian Jupil Pro League he came to a short assignment in January, and in the Conference League he was on the pitch for a less than half an hour in December. Otherwise, the 1.96 meter-tall central defender mostly ran in the young area of the former Champions League starter-but still aroused the interest of FC Schalke.

Sports director Rouven Schröder

The royal blue equips the defensive man with a ligaun -dependent contract until 2026. "Ibrahima brings everything you need to become a really good footballer," sports director Rouven Schröder is quoted in a message from the second division leader. "He not only has an incredibly exciting profile, but also has a good character. We are convinced that he will be an important component in our defense in the future. We will work with him together."

"Schalke is a big step for me, which I am very looking forward to and I have great respect for me," says Cissé himself. "I heard and read a lot about Schalke, it is a great club with a big history."

The junior national player Malis, who also has French citizenship, has been playing in Ghent since 2019. Previously, he wore the jersey of the French club LB Châteauroux.
