Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel is a target for Schalke.
Schalke see the American veteran as a replacement for want-away Manuel Neuer.
The Mirror says Schalke are already resigned to losing Neuer, who gave one of the great goalkeeping displays in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat to Manchester United.
The Germany international is expected to sign for Bayern Munich, but Sir Alex Ferguson has not given up hope of hijacking the move.
A move to the Bundesliga would offer guaranteed regular first-team football for the ex-Liverpool and Blackburn keeper in what could be his final season as a professional.
Friedel has proven he can still cut it at the top with a string of fine displays this term and Liverpool are also interested in re-signing the stopper.
