With Schalke back in the Bundesliga for 2026/27, the official league site assesses the club's prospects of consolidating rather than being dragged into another relegation fight. The preview highlights the arrival of veteran striker Edin Dzeko as a marquee addition and the role of coach Miron Muslic in reshaping the squad. The piece weighs the mix of experienced signings and promoted-classe core against the steep step up in quality required to survive in Germany's top flight.
Read the full story at bundesliga.comSchalke's return to the Bundesliga is a story loaded with emotion and history, but the footballing question is straightforward: has the club built a squad capable of handling the jump from the 2.
