FC Schalke 04 are being linked with a move for Rodez AF central midfielder Wilitty Younoussa, according to transfer data logged on 15 May 2026.
The 24-year-old Cameroonian, valued at around €800,000, is the subject of speculation over a switch from Ligue 2 to Germany’s 2. Bundesliga, with the probability of any deal currently listed as “?” on transfer data platforms. Younoussa is contracted to Rodez, but with no public end date recorded, observers have noted the possibility he could become a free agent in the near future if his deal is running down.
Born in Tochllire on 9 September 2001, Younoussa has established himself as a right-footed central midfielder for Rodez, wearing the number 8 shirt and operating primarily in a deeper central role. Standing at 1.74m, he has been part of the club’s rise as a competitive side in Ligue 2, attracting attention outside France as Schalke look to rebuild in the German second tier.
The latest update on his market value, set at €800k, places him in the bracket of a relatively low-cost option for clubs seeking to strengthen midfield options, either via a transfer fee or potentially as a free agent should his contract situation allow. The current rumour links him directly from Rodez AF in Ligue 2 to the Gelsenkirchen club in the 2. Bundesliga.
Recent data does not specify individual match statistics, opponents or scorelines, but Younoussa has continued to feature regularly in Rodez’s league campaign, underpinning his standing as a first-team squad member and maintaining interest around his future.
With Schalke aiming to assemble a younger, hungrier squad capable of pushing back towards the Bundesliga, a move to Germany could represent a significant next step in Younoussa’s career if the rumoured transfer progresses beyond speculation.
