There are rumors at Schalke about potential interest in left-back Gideon Mensah. The 27-year-old is available on a free transfer because his contract at AJ Auxerre has ended. According to a report from journalist Owuraku Ampofo, the Ghanaian World Cup participant is on the list at Schalke 04 and 1. FC Köln. However, there is no substance to these rumors. The defender has 43 caps for Ghana, and his current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
