Swapping Fortunes: Gyamfi Leaves Schalke Bound for Aberdeen
FC Aberdeen Welcomes Upcoming Player: Schalker Gyamfi - Aberdeen club is currently featuring Schalker Gyamfi in their lineup.
Hear ye, hear ye! Emmanuel Gyamfi, that youthful football sensation from Schalke, ain't returnin' to the Gelsenkirchen pitches. Seems like he's been sold to the red-and-white clad Aberdeen lads, Scotland's shining cup victors, as they've struck a deal with Schalke. Yep, that's right, you heard it here first!
Schalke's sportin' director, Youri Mulder, had this to say, "We're ecstatic that another academy kid made it in the big leagues. With a smashing year at Venlo, we found a nifty solution for our boy."
Gyamfi's football journey with Schalke started in 2019, playin' for their youth teams. Back then, he was a member of the U23s, and later made 21 appearances in the Regionalliga West, scorin' one goal and aiding two more. Next stop, Venlo, where he showed his mettle as a regular player, playin' 30 matches.
Keep in mind, Gyamfi signed a pro contract with ol' Schalke back in 2023, and his agreement with the Royal Blues lasted until June 30, 2028. But now, it looks like Aberdeen's got their hands on the young talent, with the deal announced on a Friday no less!

On Gyamfi's Previous Endeavors
A versatile chap, this Gyamfi fellow, he started his professional career with Schalke 04 II, makin' his debut in 2023. Played 21 times for the U23 team in the German fourth division, scored once[1][4]. In the 2024-2025 season, he was loaned to VVV-Venlo in the Dutch second tier (Eerste Divisie), gainin' senior experience primarily as a left-back and makin' 30 appearances[3][4].
Transfer Details
The transfer fee for our lad Gyamfi was not revealed, but it's subject to international clearance and visa hoopla[4]. Another source hinted at a €250,000 transfer fee for a similar player[2], but we can't confirm that for Gyamfi specifically.
Now, with his ability to switch positions and gainin' some Dutch second-tier experience, Gyamfi's arrival should boost Aberdeen's squad depth and versatility. So, there ya have it, folks. Keep an eye on Gyamfi, he's gonna set Aberdeen ablaze!
