However, because his contract in Lucerne expires in a few weeks and Marius Müller wanted to lure his former colleague to FC Schalke 04, rumors began to rage. Those in charge also looked into the Max Meyer issue internally. However, the outcome was negative.
Max Meyer receives rejection
He was once the perfect example of how to make it from Schalke’s youth team to the pros. But in 2018, things fell apart. S04 could not agree on a new contract with their player. Instead, he went to Crystal Palace on a free transfer.

But Max Meyer has put all that behind him. A return to Berger Feld was within the realm of possibility. At least until those in charge at FC Schalke 04 gave him the thumbs down. According to “Sport Bild”, the whole thing is not going to happen.
Ex-S04 professional is not alone
Those responsible around sports director Marc Wilmots and squad Ben Manga came to the conclusion that Meyer was not strong enough for the goals that S04 wanted to pursue again in the future. The 28-year-old had a good time in Lucerne and breathed new life into his career after many disappointing stints.
However, Max Meyer is by no means alone with the rejection from Schalke bosses. According to the report, Christian Conteh will not find his way to Gelsenkirchen either. The winged car is particularly characterized by its speed.
