New Schalke boss David Wagner wants to prioritise a deal for Watford attacker Dodi Lukebakio.
Lukebakio superb season on-loan with Fortuna Dusseldorf has attracted interest from Germany and across the continent.
BILD says Wagner is a big fan of Lukebakio and talks with his minders are already underway. An offer of €4m-a-year has been tabled, with a bonus worth €1m-a-year added.
However, Schalke will still need to find an agreement with Watford for the attacker.
The Hornets are demanding €20m to sell Lukebakio this summer.
