It is reported that Schalke is seeking a new goalkeeper for the summer because their current second-choice goalkeeper, Kevin Müller, is on loan from 1. FC Heidenheim only until the season's end. The club is interested in Dutch goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar from PEC Zwolle. He joined PEC Zwolle in July 2021. Schalke has also been monitoring the 25-year-old for years. While Schendelaar's contract expires in the summer, a free transfer is considered improbable because Zwolle holds an option for an additional year, though a departure is still viewed as likely. In Gelsenkirchen, he would likely start as a challenger to the current first-choice goalkeeper, 32-year-old Loris Karius, but the club may see him as a future first-choice goalkeeper. Schendelaar has made two appearances in the Eredivisie this season.
