WAZ have confirmed a report from Football Scotland that newly-promoted Bundesliga side Schalke are interested in signing Christopher Jullien from Celtic.

S04 are yet to reach an agreement with Celtic but are in pole position to sign the 29-year-old French central-defender. Schalke’s interest in Jullien comes with the possibility that Malick Thiaw (20) could leave the club this summer with Milan interested in signing the German youth international.

Schalke have been active this window, signing Thomas Ouwejan and Rodrigo Zalazar on permanent deals. Sebastian Polter, Tobias Moh and Florent Mollet also join the Royal Blues whilst Tom Krauß (RB Leipzig) and Alexander Schwolow (Hertha Berlin) join the club on loan.
