Schalke 04 finalizes transfer agreement for Satoshi Tanaka
Summary

Schalke 04 is set to sign Satoshi Tanaka from Fortuna Düsseldorf, marking their first summer acquisition. The transfer comes after Düsseldorf's relegation to the 3. Liga, which lowered Tanaka's release clause from €10 million to €1 million. Schalke has informed Fortuna Düsseldorf of their intent to activate the clause, and a medical check is forthcoming. The 23-year-old defensive midfielder, who joined Düsseldorf in winter from Sanfrecce Hiroshima, has a contract with his current club until 2030.
