On the 4th, leading German media outlet Kicker reported, "Wolverhampton apparently wanted to get rid of the high-paid Hwang Hee-chan by some means and sold him without even charging him a loan fee. Even the clause for a permanent signing was agreed upon lower than Hwang Hee-chan's market value. Kicker stated, "No loan fee for Hwang Hee-chan will be charged, and Schalke has secured a permanent signing clause. This permanent signing option can be activated regardless of the number of matches played in a specific situation." Schalke's leadership He also excelled in negotiating the transfer price, explaining that the current market value is about 6 million euros (about 9.4 billion won), and that he could sign him permanently for 3 million euros (about 4.5 billion won ) later. Hwang Hee-chan From Wolverhampton's perspective, he was a burden they wanted to get rid of, as he was a player who couldn't live up to his salary. Kicker also recently mentioned Hwang Hee-chan's poor performance, but the media pointed out, 'During the 2025~2026 season, when Wolverhampton was relegated, Hwang Hee-chan played in 26 matches and collected more yellow cards (5 assists) than attacking points (2 goals, 1 assist).' From Hwang Hee-chan's perspective, he must somehow make a comeback, and if Schalke also struggles, it may be difficult for him to stay in the big leagues, but expectations are so high that Schalke even assigned Hwang Hee-chan the number 7 jersey.
