The agent of West Ham United wing-back Julien Faubert admits a move to Schalke could be on.
Faubert is being linked with the Bundesliga club as a replacement for Rafinha, who is a January target for the likes of Barcelona and Juventus.
Yvan Le Mee told Foot Mercato: "If a player like Rafinha moves, this would make us very happy.
"Also, if there is an interesting possibility in January it should not be ruled out because the player wants to have opportunities to play in the World Cup and the club needs money, so anything is possible.
"We could begin to negotiate a figure for around 4 million or 4.5 million.
