Soufiane El-Faouzi, born 13 June 2002 (age 23), is a German centre midfielder with Schalke 04. His senior profile was sharpened at Alemannia Aachen, where the 2024-2025 league season brought his most productive return: three goals in 36 appearances.
He moved on to Schalke and has remained a regular part of the side in 2025-2026, making 34 league appearances and scoring two goals in the 2. Bundesliga. That level of involvement says more than any tidy label about his current standing: he is not on the fringes, and he has been trusted often enough in a demanding league.
El-Faouzi was linked with a move to Celtic in May 2026 while at Schalke 04. At this stage, that sits as transfer interest rather than anything more substantial.
His career is still taking shape, but the outline is clear enough: a German midfielder who built momentum at Alemannia Aachen and carried it into regular first-team football with Schalke.
