Bild reports on Schalke 04’s previous interest in signing Tim Skarke, a 30-year-old German centre-forward from 1. FC Union Berlin, and the subsequent change in their transfer plans. Schalke 04 was interested in signing Skarke a year ago, but this summer, when the player was reportedly willing to make the move, the club was no longer pursuing the transfer. The German youth international has one cap for the U21 team. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €1.50m.
