A former Inter Milan, Atalanta and Union Berlin defender, Gosens, 32, spoke of his "special connection" to Schalke, the club he supported as a boy. "They outlined their plan and explained exactly what my role would be and what they expect from me," Gosens said in a statement. "I'm really up for it."Seven-time German champions Schalke returned to the Bundesliga after four seasons in the second flight. Gosens has scored twice in 24 Germany games, with his last cap coming in 2025.
