According to Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, Everton are set to lose goalkeeper Dan Rose after he agreed a move to join Bundesliga side Schalke 04.
He will be signing with the German outfit as a free agent after rejecting the Toffees’ three-year scholarship contract.
Rose will become the first non-German youth goalkeeper at Schalke and their first-ever English youth player.
The 16-year-old was with Everton U18s this term but wasn’t able to make any appearance as he was behind Jack Barrett, Jack McIntyre and Zan-Luk Leban in the pecking order.
Rose apparently didn’t see a quick path to first-team football at Goodison Park, and it will be interesting to see if the move to Germany will turn out well.
