Six goals for Elber
Vedad Ibisevic will remain in the Bundesliga even after his contract with Hertha BSC ends. As reported in recent days, the 36-year-old striker moves to Schalke 04 for free and signs a one-year contract there. The Royal Blues officially confirmed it on Thursday.
According to the information from “Kicker”, Ibisevic also had lucrative offers from abroad, but the Bosnian wanted to continue looking for goals in the upper house of German football, and in return accepted significant financial cuts. With the “Knappen”, Ibisevic, who came to Alemannia Aachen from Paris Saint-Germain in 2006, receives around 100,000 euros a year. According to the DFB’s 2018/19 season report, this roughly corresponds to the average salary of a third-division professional.

To the overview
In Berlin, the offensive man earned according to “Bild” around 3 million euros a year. The newspaper confirmed Ibisevic’s new salary, but noted that it was only the base salary. The “extremely performance related bonuses” could increase the actual earnings of the former national player.
Furthermore, the “Bild” reports that Ibisevic preferred to remain in the Bundesliga for a specific reason. Consequently, he wants to move into the top 3 of the most successful foreign forwards. The top duo of Robert Lewandowski (236 goals) and Claudio Pizarro (197) shouldn’t be able to catch up with Giovane Elber, the 127-time scorer still six goals behind.
The most successful foreign scorers in the history of the Bundesliga
“Vedad is a real asset to our team. An experienced offensive player who threatens the goal and who continues to burn for every appearance in the Bundesliga, ”said Schalke sporting director Jochen Schneider. “Vedad convinced us with his attitude in the talks: he simply wants to continue playing football at the highest level, and his qualities are indisputable. We look forward to working together. “
