Edinson Cavani: Switch to Schalke could bankrupt streamers forever

GamerBrother shows on Twitter how you could tear yourself into bankruptcy. His promise in a move from Edinson Cavani could ruin him.

Gelsenkirchen, Germany – FC Schalke 04 is back in the 1st Bundesliga. After the painful relegation in 2021, coach Mike Büskens was followed by direct resurgence. Now those responsible are planning the squad for the coming season. World star Edinson Cavani should also be on Rouven Schröder’s list. Twitch streamer and Schalke fan GamerBrother promises each of his fans a jersey if the transfer goes through. A daring deal.

GamerBrother: Daring Schalke bet gets the Twitch streamer in trouble

Gamer Brother and Schalke 04: In addition to his FIFA 22 streams on Twitch, GamerBrother is best known for his soccer talks and stadium vlogs from FC Schalke 04. The once glorious club from Gelsenkirchen had to make the bitter transition to the second division last year.

Staying in the House of Commons hasn’t been a walk in the park for GamerBrother either. A few tight games and a sacking of the coach later, Schalke 04 is certain to be promoted. Some balm for the soul for GamerBrother and the rest of the Schalke team. Sports Director Rouven Schröder is working flat out on the squad for the new season.

GamerBrother guarantees fans jerseys: Edinson Cavani could also be on the list of possible Sturm candidates for Schalke 04. GamerBrother also got wind of this rumor and was carried away by the euphoria. “If Cavani honestly goes to Schalke I’ll buy anyone who likes this tweet a jersey,” the streamer posted Twitter.

As of this writing, June 12, the tweet has garnered more than 62,000 likes. If you assume that a Schalke shirt with player flocking costs €97.90 like last season, then that makes a shopping cart value of over €6 million.

GamerBrother – Is the Twitch streamer going broke? How likely is a move from Edinson Cavani?

Edinson Cavani to Schalke 04? Edinson Cavani has already scored for Napoli, PSG and most recently Manchester United. The Uruguayan international is now available on a free transfer. Will Schalke 04 strike? GamerBrother seems to regret his tweet. On Twitter, the Twitch streamer has already asked if someone could lend him 4 million euros. GamerBrother is currently in Mallorca for the Eligella Summer Games.

However, GamerBrother can calm down a bit. Edinson Cavani’s move is unlikely for a number of reasons. The striker is available for free, but the 35-year-old would demand a lavish salary. The heavily indebted Schalke could hardly afford this.

In addition, Edinson Cavani has other offers. According to several media reports from AC Florence from Serie A. The Spanish clubs Villarreal and Real Sociedad are said to have expressed their interest in the striker. Edinson Cavani and Simon Terodde will probably not go hunting for goals together.

The rumor is also based on no tangible evidence, but on the wishful thinking of some Schalke supporters. Sky reporter Dirk Schlarmann responded to a tweet from Schalke club spokesman Marc Siekmann with a jubilant Edinson Cavani photo. This was the trigger for the rumor. The account balance of the twitch streamer is therefore still safe. However, GamerBrother was tricked by a fan in the most brutal way.
