Schalke urgently seek the left defender
Schalke's number one defender Bastian Oczipka has undergone groin surgery. It is expected that the 29-year-old German will take a minimum of two months to return to the pitch. Meanwhile, option B, Baba Rahman, has been out for nearly a year due to ligament injury. Tedesco is no longer a reliable left winger.

It should be stressed, in Tedesco's 3-4-2-1 scheme, the role of two winger very important. Last season, Oczipka won the trust of Tedesco thanks to the ability to comprehensive. With Oczipka and Caligiuri on both sides of the corridor, Schalke quickly converted to 5-3-2 in defense.

Thus, the current Bundesliga side are urgently looking for a left defender to fill the gap of Oczipka. Phillipp Max is fond of Tedesco, but Schalke will face fierce competition from the wealthy PSG. Another notable name is Johan Mojica, a defender who plays well in the Colombian side at the 2018 World Cup. The 25-year-old has just been bought by Girona for € 5 million from Vallecano. Therefore, Schalke will have to spend a small amount of money in the financial context is not abundant.

Schalke also targets less expensive targets such as Jerome Roussillon (Montpellier), Konstantinos Stafylidis (Augsburg), Jannes Horn (Cologne). Among these are the French defender Jerome Roussillon, who is best rated, while the other two have the experience of fighting in the Bundesliga.

Last season, Schalke became an interesting phenomenon when finishing in the runner-up position. But if not find a quality defender this summer, coach Tedesco's team hard to maintain strength.

31.5 Schalke has spent a total of 31.5 million euros to bring back four rookies this summer. There are Suat Serdar midfielders (11 million euros), Omar Mascarell (10), midfielder Salif Sane (7) and winger Steven Skrzybski (3.5).
