According to Eurosport, a deal would make financial sense to Schalke who are currently battling crippling debt and every penny they can get their hands on would be very much welcome.
Eurosport Germany’s Jonas Klinke said: “For financial reasons a transfer would definitely make sense for Schalke. Because the club is in serious financial trouble and therefore needs every euro.
