LASK, the reigning domestic double winner, is interested in signing 28-year-old defensive midfielder Dejan Ljubicic from Schalke 04. It is said that the Linz-based club has already submitted a specific inquiry. The Austrian international, who would join his brother Robert at LASK if a transfer occurs, moved to the Gelsenkirchen club in the winter from Dinamo Zagreb for a fee of 750,000 euros. He contributed five goals and three assists in 16 games, helping Schalke achieve promotion to the Bundesliga. It is reported that his current club is dependent on income and could potentially face a points deduction. Ljubicic has 9 caps and one goal for Austria and has a contract with Schalke until 2028. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €3.00m.
