Schalke 04 general manager Horst Heldt has confirmed that the club is still interested in signing Fulham defender Sascha Riether.
The 30-year-old German joined the Cottagers as recently as May following a loan spell from Cologne.
"In the case of Sascha Riether we have not made any progress," Heldt told Kicker.
"There will be no imminent deal, but we are keeping tabs on the situation and are still hopeful that we will agree a transfer in the end."
Riether scored one goal in 39 appearances for Fulham during the last campaign.
