Mutu Offered To Schalke

According to Schalke manager Andreas Müller, the Königsblauen have been offered the chance to sign striker Adrian Mutu from Fiorentina.

With Schalke looking to invest in the summer and new trainer Fred Rutten being given some money to spend, it seems the club are ready to splash out in an effort to progress form their annual role as also rans in the Bundesliga.

Mutu has refound some of his best form this season playing for the Viola after a few years in the wilderness following his sacking from Chelsea for drugs use.

Mutu has been linked with a move to Germany in the past and Müller has now confirmed there is interest.

"Yes, he has been offered to us by an agent" Muller told Bild.

The Romanian is contracted to Fiorentina until the summer of 2011 and it is believed that he would cost Schalke around €12 million (£9.3m).

Schalke reached the quarter final of this season's Champions League, but have remained a way off the pace in the Bundesliga, although they do look set for a top three finish.
