10月30日，据《踢球者》披露，沙尔克04揭晓了最新的财务报告，整体经济状况呈现出一定程度的稳定态势。报告显示，除了净金融负债的数值有所降低之外，该俱乐部在商业拓展及衍生品销售领域也取得了显著的收入增长。
在竞技战场上，沙尔克04近期表现波动不定，德甲联赛中连续三场未能取胜，包括一场平局和两场失利，此外，在德国杯第二轮比赛中，他们不幸被德乙劲旅德累斯顿迪纳摩淘汰。主教练米隆·穆斯利奇直言，未来几周将面临极大的挑战。鉴于接下来的密集赛程——包括主场对阵莱比锡、客场挑战霍芬海姆以及主场迎战斯图加特，这样的表态显得十分合理。
周五，盖尔森基兴在备战周六与RB莱比锡的较量之际，其关注点转向了财务状况。沙尔克04公布，在过去财政年度，该俱乐部的历史债务净额首次回落至10亿欧元以下。财务总监克里斯蒂娜·吕尔-哈默斯透露，这家长期背负沉重债务的德甲新军，成功将债务规模从11.08亿欧元减少至9.79亿欧元。
Furthermore, during the fiscal year 2025/26, the club achieved a consolidated annual surplus of 200,000 euros. This indicates that Schalke 04 has maintained a robust performance, concluding its third consecutive year with a positive consolidated financial result. The sustained increase in sponsorship and merchandise sales has been a significant factor propelling the financial health in a favorable direction.
吕尔-哈默斯在一份声明中透露：“我们已成功走出了先前所遭遇的严峻财务挑战。充足的现金流赋予我们广阔的运营领域，即便遭遇业务起伏，我们亦能在无即时压力的情况下灵活应对，并确保满足联赛执照所规定的经济条件。”
尽管盈利已实现，沙尔克04却面临着诸多隐忧。吕尔-哈默坦承：“不容忽视的是，净金融负债仍然维持在较高水平，未来数年仍将面临诸多挑战。”
Furthermore, the eradication of negative assets remains a pivotal objective for Schalke 04, a goal that is intricately linked to the compliance with the German Bundesliga's financial regulations. These regulations stipulate that each club within the German top flight must reduce its negative equity by 10% annually, failing which they are subject to severe penalties in the form of points deductions.
