On 10 July 2017, Schalke 04 announced the signing of Harit on a four-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Nantes was reported as €8 million, which could rise to €10 million with bonuses.[5] He made his debut for the German club on 14 August in a DFB-Pokal against BFC Dynamo. He started the match and came off at halftime of a 2–0 away win.[6]
On 25 November 2017, Harit scored his first ever Bundesliga goal against Ruhr rivals Borussia Dortmund as Schalke overturned a 4–0 deficit to a 4–4 draw in a historic Revierderby match.[citation needed] He was named Bundesliga 'Rookie of the Month' for December 2017,[7] going on to take the 'Bundesliga Rookie of the Year' award for the 2017–18 season.[8]
On 11 December 2019, Harit extended his contract with Schalke for a further three years, until 2024.[9]

On 2 September 2021, it was announced that Harit was loaned out to Ligue 1 club Marseille for the 2021–22 Ligue 1 season.[10] He made his debut for the club in a 2–0 Ligue 1 away win over Monaco, delivering an assist for the second goal.[11] In the following match, against Rennes, Harit came on in the 59th minute and scored 12 minutes later, his first goal with OM.[12] On 20 April 2022, he scored the winning goal in a 3–2 home win over his former club Nantes.[13]
On 1 September 2022, Harit joined Marseille again for a season-long loan, this time with an option to make the move permanent.[14] On 7 November, his transfer to OM was made permanent for a fee in the region of €5 million.[15] After having made his 15th appearance of the season, an obligation-to-buy clause in his contract was triggered.[16]
