“Juan is one of the most-talented left-backs in Spanish football right now. As a youngster, he has been a regular in Spain’s U19 side and has also played for Barcelona’s first team,” explained head coach David Wagner. “It’s amazing that we’ve signed him. We will give him the time to adjust to life here in Germany so that he can reach his full sporting potential here.”

Head of Sport Jochen Schneider added: “Several clubs had made loan offers for Juan, but he made the decision to develop as a player here at FC Schalke 04.” “I’m happy that the deal is now done. I hope that we can have a good season and I can play my part,” explained Juan Miranda.
