Schalke could be about to poach Breel Embolo from under the noses of Manchester United, reports Ruhr Nachrichten.
The Royal Blues are resigned to losing star talent Leroy Sane to Manchester City, making the signing of a replacement a matter of urgency.
And FC Basel star Embolo is understood to be a target for the Bundesliga outfit, though the Swiss club are demanding €25 million for the teenager currently representing Switzerland at Euro 2016.
Schalke are convinced by a player who netted 10 goals in 27 Swiss Super League outings last season, and are prepared to reinvest a portion of the fee they receive for Sane.
