As is often the case when it comes to transfers, the Bundesliga club has not disclosed the term of his contract.

"In addition to his experience, Rouven Schröder possesses the necessary skills and communication abilities required for this demanding task.

"We are convinced that, together with the sports team, he will succeed in both mastering the immediate challenges and successfully shaping the future of sports," said managing director Stefan Stegemann.

To buy Schröder out of his contract, which runs until 2028, the Foals are reportedly paying a fee of up to €1.5million.
