FC Schalke 04 have been linked with a move for Rodez AF central midfielder Wilitty Younoussa, with the transfer currently rated at a 13% probability.
The 24-year-old Cameroonian, who wears the number 8 shirt for Ligue 2 side Rodez, is being monitored by the 2. Bundesliga club according to the latest data from Transfermarkt dated 18 May 2026. The mooted deal would take him from French second-tier football to Germany’s second division.
Younoussa, born on 9 September 2001 in Tochllire, Cameroon, is valued at €800,000, a figure that could make him an accessible option for Schalke as they reshape their midfield. His main position is central midfield and he is right-footed, operating predominantly in the heart of the pitch.
The speculation is further fuelled by uncertainty around his contractual situation. No contract expiry date is listed for his time at Rodez AF, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent in the near future or be available for a cut-price fee if his deal is running down. However, there is no confirmed information that his contract has expired, and no agreement between the clubs has been reported.
Younoussa has been a regular presence for Rodez in Ligue 2, where his performances have underpinned his current valuation but detailed season statistics and specific recent match data – including opponents, dates, scorelines and individual performances – are not provided in the available records.
Standing at 1.74m and representing Cameroon at club level abroad, a move to Gelsenkirchen would mark the next step in a career that has so far been built away from Europe’s top five leagues. If the transfer were to materialise, it could offer Younoussa a significant platform to enhance his reputation and push for a higher-profile move later in his career.
