According to 'Sky' and Andreas Ernst from 'WAZ', Dejan Ljubičić is coming from Dinamo Zagreb.

Bundesliga fans may remember the midfielder especially from his time at 1. FC Köln, which only ended last summer. Now he will soon return to Germany and wear the Royal Blues jersey in the 2nd league. 

The medical check is expected to take place in the next few days. According to reports, he could already be sitting in the stands at Schalke's game against Kaiserslautern tomorrow. As reported by 'Bild', Ljubičić will receive a contract with Schalke until 2028. The transfer fee for Zagreb is said to be around 750,000 euros and could increase with bonuses.
