Reds face battle to land Marseille star
Schalke are lining up a last-ditch attempt to lure Liverpool and Tottenham target Nicolas N'Koulou to Germany.
The two English clubs are hoping to bring the 26-year-old to England when his Marseille contract finishes at the end of the month.
Lazio are also trying hard to sign the Cameroonian defender on a free transfer while Sevilla hold a long-standing interest in him.
But now sources in France have revealed that yet another club are trying to sign him in the form of Schalke.
The German club finished fifth in the Bundesliga last term and are in the market for defensive reinforcements having shipped 49 goals in their 34 games last term.
They reckon N'Koulou fits the bill and are now ready to challenge his long list of suitors for his signature.
