Club attacker Milan Baros has agreed to the personal contract terms offered by Gelsenkirchen. This is the first step towards moving to the German team, although both clubs have not yet agreed on the final transfer fee.
Although the Czech player had recently been inclined to stay in the English team, coach Rafael Benitez did not register the footballer for the Champions League qualifying tournament, indicating that the attacker would most likely be sold. If M. Baros played in the qualifying tournament, his price would drop significantly, as according to UEFA rules, a player cannot play in any European tournament wearing two team shirts in the same season.
However, it is currently unclear whether "Schalke" will agree to pay the requested £7 million by "Liverpool". Earlier, the leaders of the German team stated that the amount requested by the English is unacceptable to them.
