According to Sport1, Schalke squad planner Michael Reschke has made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt for the transfer of Danny Da Costa.
S04 are actively searching for a right-back after failing to reach an agreement with Premier League side Everton for the transfer of Jonjoe Kenny, whilst midfielder Sebastian Rudy currently occupies the right-back position.
The arrival Ajdin Hrustic from FC Groningen casts doubt over the future of Da Costa, with Timothy Chandler a preferred option to the German, who was substituted at half-time on the opening matchday.
