Rouven Schröder will not join RB Leipzig in the near future. If the ex-Schalke joins Max Eberl, it will take time.
The shock of Rouven Schröder’s surprising exit from Schalke 04 is still deep. There doesn’t seem to be a direct connection to RB Leipzig, as it was said on Thursday evening – at least not yet.
On Thursday evening brought the picture Rouven Schroeder in connection with RB Leipzig. First and foremost through his connection to Max Eberl, who knows the sports director well, appreciates his work and with whom he also has a good relationship.
Hardly away from Schalke, straight to RBL? It will definitely not happen that quickly – if at all.
Schröder as part of Eberl’s new Leipzig team? If so, then later
According to the picture Eberl would like to put together a team in Leipzig. He will start his new job there in mid-December, and the first personal details should be available a little later. For that, according to the report, Schröder would be one of the candidates. Not only, but also because Eberl would like to bring him in.
Guido Schäfer, chief reporter at the Leipziger Volkszeitung and a mostly very reliable source for RBL matters, but initially slows down this discussion significantly.
He wrote on Twitter: “The fact that Mr. Schröder is leaving S04 to go to Leipzig is nonsense. […] If Rouven wanted to go to Leipzig, he could have pursued it after the season. He is top, in character and professionally.” The story does not become more realistic due to the connection to the former Gladbach manager, who had suggested him as his successor at Borussia.
For the time being, one must say. After all, Schäfer emphasizes that Schröder did not leave to change. On the one hand, that may be true, but on the other hand, it still does not rule out that he will later sign with the Saxons.
While the whole rumor seems to be cooked much hotter than actually eaten at the moment, it would be just as foolish to deny all connections. The possibility that Eberl, as sports manager, would like to install a sports director under himself remains. And in this case, the ex-Schalke player would be one of those who would at least ask.
