FC Schalke 04 are being linked with a move for Franco‑Algerian right winger Yassine Benhattab from FC Nantes, according to transfer market data.
The 23-year-old, who holds both French and Algerian nationality, is the subject of speculation over a switch from Ligue 1 to Germany’s 2. Bundesliga, with the reported probability of the deal currently listed as “?”. Transfer data suggests Schalke are monitoring Benhattab as they look to add pace and creativity in wide areas.
Benhattab, valued at €2.00m, is officially on the books of Ligue 1 side Stade Reims, where he wears the number 90 shirt, but is now being rumoured with a move via Nantes to the Gelsenkirchen club. With no public details on his contract expiry at Reims or Nantes, observers have noted that a future free‑agent scenario cannot be ruled out if no agreement is reached over an extension.
Born in Marseille on 18 November 2002 and standing at 1.70m, Benhattab operates primarily as an attacking right winger and favours his left foot, allowing him to cut inside onto his stronger side. His market valuation of €2.00m underlines his status as a developing prospect rather than a finished article, but one who fits the profile of a cost‑effective addition for a club rebuilding its squad.
The latest transfer listings place him in Ligue 1 with Nantes as the selling club and Schalke, currently in the 2. Bundesliga, as the interested party. No transfer fee, contract length or personal terms have yet been reported, and there is no confirmed information on his most recent match, opponent or performance statistics.
Should the move materialise, a switch from France to Germany could offer Benhattab a significant platform to establish himself in senior European football and shape the next phase of his career.
