A recall clause in his loan deal allowed Sunderland to bring his stint in Scotland to an early end. Aouchiche has already traveled to Germany for his medical and to sign his new contract with Schalke.

For the Algerian-born player, this move is a golden opportunity to reignite his career at a Bundesliga 2 powerhouse determined to return to the top flight. During his time at Sunderland, Aouchiche made 38 appearances since joining from Lorient in 2023.
