Schalke are referring all suitors for Max Meyer to his buyout clause.

The exciting midfield talent has been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool and starred in Schalke's courageous win at Real Madrid last week.

"It flatters me, of course, because it is a confirmation that you're doing something good," said Meyer. "I feel very happy at Schalke."

Meyer is tied to Schalke until 2018, with his deal carrying a buyout clause.

Schalke insist he won't be allowed to leave for less than his €25.5 million option.
