Schalke sporting director Schneider hopeful of Stambouli contract renewal

Schalke 04 sporting director Jochen Schneider is hopeful Benjamin Stambouli will renew his contract with the club as his current deal runs out at the end of June.

The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has been on the books of the Royal Blues since 2016 after joining from Paris Saint-Germain and has 106 appearances, scoring no goals and providing four assists.

He has been limited to just nine Bundesliga outings this season because of a foot injury which has kept him out since October 2019.
