Amine Harit has a purchase obligation in his loan contract with Olympique Marseille, which applies to 15 appearances. Schalke 04 would collect a fee of 5 million euros, but also pay a salary of 1.5 million euros.
Amine Harit is currently on loan from Schalke 04 to Olympique Marseille. The Bundesliga club wants to get Harit off the payroll permanently and can almost plan with it. Because: Marseille has an obligation to buy from Moroccans.
That Amine Harit is an outstanding footballer is an open secret. The fact that it didn’t really fit between the Moroccan and Schalke 04 in the end, too. Since the attacking midfielder was the absolute top earner in Gelsenkirchen with a salary of over five million euros and the salary structure blew up, the club pushed for a sale this summer.
That didn’t happen, but he was loaned again to Olympique Marseille after Harit had already spent last season on loan at OM. This time the cooperation could become permanent.
Because like them picture reported on Sunday evening, there is a purchase obligation of five million euros in Harit’s loan agreement between Schalke and Marseille. That’s below market value, but still a way for Schalke to get Harit off the payroll. After all, the miners are still paying a salary of 1.5 million euros for the Moroccan this season. In the end, Schalke would leave the Harit business with 3.5 million euros – provided that the purchase obligation applies.
The clause is tied to 15 competitive appearances for OM. So far, Harit has been in the starting eleven in two games and was substituted on in three. Games played as wild cards are counted as half a bet. Theoretically, Harit could make 15 appearances by the New Year, giving Schalke more leeway in terms of squad planning in winter.
