Schalke fire back at Ralf Fährmann and his lawyer: “Even though he still considers himself to be the best goalkeeper at Schalke, he will not play another game” | OneFootball

“Ralf Fährmann will defend himself against these untenable accusations using legal means. The player’s reputation has been massively damaged – especially by the club’s statement that was made public via ‘dpa’.”

“We are currently examining whether we will file a criminal complaint against the club on suspicion of defamation in accordance with Section 186 of the German Criminal Code. Ralf Fährmann plans to continue his active career after this season and then work in professional football, for example as a goalkeeping coach. This plan has now become significantly more difficult due to his damaged reputation. We therefore also reserve the right to sue Schalke 04 for damages.”

“Our position is just as clear: Ralf Fährmann’s contract ends on June 30, 2025, it will not be extended under any circumstances and Fährmann will leave the club after that. Even though Ralf Fährmann says he still considers himself to be the best goalkeeper at Schalke, he will not play another game for the Royal Blues.”
