Schalke 04

On 23 June 2015, Geis joined FC Schalke 04 on a four-year deal for a fee in the region of €12 million.[4][5]

On 8 August, he marked his competitive debut by scoring in a 5–0 win at MSV Duisburg in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.[6]

Geis was sent off for a horrible studs-up challenge on André Hahn in a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach on 25 October which resulted in a 5-match ban for Geis, and left Hahn requiring surgery for a fractured tibia and a lateral meniscus tear.[7] However, Geis was still allowed to play Europa League matches, in which he equalized from the penalty spot against Sparta Prague on 5 November in a 1-1 draw.[8]

Sevilla

On 1 September 2017, Geis joined Spanish club Sevilla on a season-long loan deal, which includes a buyout option for €8 million.[9]

1. FC Köln

On 13 January 2019, Geis signed a contract with 1. FC Köln until the end of the season.[10] In spite of a moderately successful time at Köln, the club announced that they would not offer him a contract extension, making him a free agent from July.[11] He left the club at the end of the season.

International career

He made his debut for Germany U21 against France U21 on 13 August 2013 in a friendly game in Freiburg im Breisgau. He replaced Emre Can at half-time.

He represented the under-21 team at the 2015 European Championship in the Czech Republic, starting 1 match and coming on as a substitute in another. Geis made a substitute appearance, coming on for Can in the 77th minute, in their second group match at the Eden Arena in Prague against Denmark, in a 3-0 victory.[12]
