Obasi Set to Leave Schalke 04
Former Super Eagles forward, Chinedu Obasi, is on his way out of Schalke 04 in the summer according to reports coming out of Germany.
Media reports from Germany has confirmed that the 28-year-old was told in clear terms by Schalke general manager Horst Heldt that his contract won’t be renewed.
Obasi’s case has not been helped by constant injury worries that has limited him to 52 appearances with just five goals since his four million euros move to Schalke three-and-half years ago.
Schalke signed Obasi in the summer of 2011/2012 as a back up to team cult hero Jefferson Farfan, but after few games an old shin injury picked up at his previous side Hoffenheim resurfaced.
He underwent surgery and missed all but seven games of that season; so far he has played just six games in the Bundesliga and his last league game was on November 11, 2014.
His last goal for the team was five months ago and it came in the UEFA Champions League game against Sporting Lisbon where he scored and provided an assist in a 4-3 win.
Presently injured, Obasi will be presented with a farewell bouquet before the commencement of Schalke’s last home game of the Bundesliga against Paderborn on May 16.
