Adil Aouchiche

Adil Aouchiche of Schalke 04 was born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, France on 15 July 2002 (age 23).

Adil Aouchiche, born on 15 July 2002 (age 23), is an Algerian attacking midfielder with Schalke 04. A central creator rather than an obvious penalty-box player, he has built his recent football in Germany’s 2. Bundesliga.

The 2025-26 season has been his most productive league campaign so far, with three goals in 14 league appearances for Schalke. His market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

Aouchiche remains an established professional still trying to turn regular involvement into a more substantial body of work. His current story is straightforward: Schalke, minutes in the side, and modest attacking returns from midfield.

Adil Aouchiche has been a regular part of Schalke 04's 2. Bundesliga side this season, making 14 league appearances and starting 13 of them. Three goals from an attacking midfield role is a useful return rather than a dominant one, while three yellow cards point to a player involved enough in central areas to pick up defensive load as well as attacking responsibility.

Aouchiche's career has already taken in several different environments by the age of 23, with moves from Saint-Etienne to Lorient, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Aberdeen and now Schalke 04. The pattern suggests a player still searching for a stable platform – talented enough to keep attracting clubs, but not yet settled for a long spell in one team.

The transfer record is mixed: a free transfer from Saint-Etienne to Lorient, undisclosed-fee moves to Sunderland and Schalke 04, and loan spells at Portsmouth and Aberdeen. That sequence reads less like a straight climb and more like a reset through different leagues, with Schalke offering the latest attempt to convert potential into consistent senior output.
