May 18, according to German media "Photo", Schalke 04, currently fighting in the German Second Division, has issued a two-year contract extension for Karius.

This winter window, Karius joined Schalke 04 freely and quickly settled in the main position. However, the good times did not last long. A few weeks later, Karius seriously injured his calf and was reimbursed in advance for the season. During Karius's injury, Schalke 04 had doubts about his future attendance rate, so he had not started negotiations for renewal.

However, Karius was tested this week, and the results showed that his injury recovery was far beyond expectations. Schalke's medical team believed that the player could return from injury soon.

The exclusive source of Biography revealed that this diagnosis prompted Schalke's management to change its attitude, and the team has provided Karius with a formal two-year renewal offer. Moreover, unlike the current non-fixed salary, the new contract stipulates a considerable fixed salary, including bonuses, and has a salary increase clause after the number of appearances meets the standard. It is reported that Karius is very willing to stay in the team, but he is still striving for higher treatment. However, it is very likely that the two sides will reach an agreement in the near future.
