Frank Magri: Schalke 04 linked with move for Toulouse’s Franco-Cameroonian striker

Franco-Cameroonian centre-forward Frank Magri of Toulouse is being linked with a summer move to German side FC Schalke 04, with reports in Germany putting the likelihood of a deal at around 7%.

The 26-year-old, who holds both Cameroon and France nationality, is currently on the books of Ligue 1 side Toulouse, where he wears the No 9 shirt. Data from Transfermarkt lists his market value at €3.00m, a figure that could tempt Schalke as they look to strengthen their attack for another push in the 2. Bundesliga.

Magri’s contractual situation at Toulouse is unclear, with no publicly listed expiry date, which has fuelled speculation that he could become available on favourable terms or even edge towards free-agent status if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty has encouraged Schalke to monitor his situation closely as they assess relatively low-cost striking options.

Standing at 1.78m and operating primarily as a central forward with a right-footed profile, Magri has built his career in France, rising from the lower divisions to establish himself at Toulouse in the French top flight. Born in Agen on 4 September 1999, he has developed a reputation as a mobile front man, capable of leading the line and working channels rather than relying solely on aerial presence.

Recent performances for Toulouse in Ligue 1 have kept him in the shop window, although detailed official statistics and match-by-match breakdowns for this season are not fully disclosed in the data provided. There is no confirmed recent fixture – such as opponent, date, scoreline or individual contribution – tied directly to the current transfer speculation.

With Schalke rebuilding in Germany’s second tier and Toulouse facing decisions over several squad members, any move for Magri remains at an early, rumour-stage. But should a transfer materialise, a switch to Gelsenkirchen could offer the dual-national forward a fresh platform to enhance his reputation on a new stage and potentially reposition his career trajectory in the heart of European football.
