Official: Loris Karius pens new deal at FC Schalke 04 | OneFootball

FC Schalke 04 has officially confirmed that they have extended the contract of Loris Karius ahead of schedule. 

Karius, who was a key player for Schalke during their promotion to the Bundesliga, sees his new deal run until 30 June, 2028. 

With only 31 goals conceded in last season's 2.Bundesliga campaign, the Royal Blues boasted the best defense in the league.

In total, the 32-year-old shot-stopper made an impressive 30 appearances and kept 13 clean sheets during that run of games.

“With his consistently strong performances, Loris has made a significant contribution to the team’s success as a reliable last line of defense. The team can depend on him. 

"Especially in close games, he has repeatedly made the difference with crucial saves and secured important points,” said Youri Mulder, Schalke's director of professional football.
