Schalke sporting director Rouven Schroder has confessed the Bundesliga are open to bid for Celtic linked defender Malick Thiaw this summer.
Several Italian outlets have claimed that Schalke are in discussions with the Scottish Premiership champions, with several Serie A sides also being linked with a move this summer. Engllish Premier League side Liverpool and Everton were monitoring the defender in January and could revive their interest, while AC Milan were reportedly interested in the £8million-rated star earlier this week in a bid to see off interest from rivals in Italy.
Ange Postecoglou is looking to add another centre-back this summer as he prepares the club for a return to the Champions League group stage, and looks to build on the title-winning success of last season. As it stands, Germany U21 international Thiaw is looking forward to a return to the Bundesliga following promotion last season after Schalke's quick fire return to the top flight.
