Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac is open to moving England.

His contract runs out in the summer and was linked with a move to Liverpool or Chelsea by Bild earlier this month.

"There is nothing new to report. My agent and the club are in contact," Kolasinac said.

"To be honest I have not thought about it. It has no priority for me.

"Currently I am a Schalke player and want to continue to play a good season.

"Many say my style of play would fit well in England.

"But if I move abroad, not only the club changes but you leave your environment, need to build something new.

"It's a difficult step which has to be well-considered.

"The gut feeling decides, but I also need to talk to my family."
