German international Michael Ballack recently admitted that his Chelsea future is in doubt as contract negotiations haven't resulted in a new deal yet and the midfielder could very well leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
The experienced midfielder was previously linked with Inter, but a return to the Bundesliga now also appears to be an option with Schalke having shown an interest in signing Ballack.
"We are indeed interested in signing Michael Ballack. I'm confident that he's ready to accept a pay cut if he decides to return to the Bundesliga this summer," Schalke coach Felix Magath was quoted as saying by Berliner Kurier.
However, the 33-year-old midfielder has not given up on a new Chelsea deal just yet and contract talks are expected to be resumed at the end of the season.
Ballack played for Chemnitzer, Kaiserslautern, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich before he joined Chelsea in 2006. He has since made over 100 league appearances with the Londoners.
