FC Schalke 04 are being linked with a move for right winger Younes Taha, with the German 2. Bundesliga side reportedly monitoring the Morocco-Netherlands dual national’s situation at FC Twente.
The 23-year-old, who currently has a market value of €3.00m, is the subject of speculation over a possible switch from the Eredivisie to Gelsenkirchen, with the likelihood of any deal at this stage listed as “?” in transfer reports. With no public details on the length of his current deal or a contract expiry date, there is also conjecture that Taha could yet move on more flexibly in future windows, with free‑agent scenarios not being ruled out by observers.
Born in Amsterdam on 27 November 2002, Taha came through Dutch football and is now on the books at FC Groningen, where he wears the number 10 shirt, but is currently rumoured in connection with a transfer from FC Twente to Schalke. Operating primarily as an attacking right winger and favouring his left foot, he fits the modern profile of an inverted wide player, comfortable cutting inside to create or shoot.
Taha holds both Moroccan and Dutch nationality, underlining his eligibility for either country at international level, though he is yet to be established on the senior international stage. He has experience in the Dutch league system and has been developing his game in attacking roles across the right flank.
No fee has been agreed and there is no indication yet of formal negotiations between the clubs, but Schalke’s interest reflects the relatively modest €3.00m valuation attached to the winger. With his age, technical profile and unresolved contract status, any move to Germany’s second tier – whether via a transfer or at a later stage as a free agent – could prove a significant step in shaping Taha’s career trajectory and reputation in European football if it ultimately materialises.
