The Germany international still has two years remaining on his current deal with Schalke and insists he remains focused on football in the Bundesliga.

“Still I am with Schalke and I have a job to do at this club. I am not looking at any other thing actually.
“But, of course, some clubs are somehow more of interest from the point of view of a footballer than other clubs might be.”
