Youngster Matthew Hoppe leaves Bundesliga-relegated Schalke 04 and connects to the RCD Mallorca.

The economic framework of the offer was so that we had to accept it in our current financial situation, said sport director Rouven Schröder. The 20 year old Americans signed a contract until 2025 at the Spanish First League Returner.

According to US media, Mallorca pays about three million euros. Matthew is a great boy, but would have been difficult in the coming weeks, as a start-up player to come to the operating times he presents himself personally, said Schröder continues.
