Maarten Stekelenburg has emerged as a potential replacement for Manuel Neuer at Schalke.
Bayern Munich are set to land the Germany international and although they have failed to come to an agreement with Schalke so far, talkSPORT has been told that the clubs are still in negotiations and a move to the Allianz Arena will happen this summer.
It means Schalke will be in the market for a goalkeeper and Dutchman Stekelenburg is their preferred choice.
The Ajax goalkeeper, who starred for Holland at last summer's World Cup, is set to leave Amsterdam this summer.
And while Manchester United remain keen on Atletico Madrid's David De Gea - as talkSPORT revealed earlier in the season - Stekelenburg is the club's second choice if the deal for De Gea fails to materialise.
Spurs, mindful of Heurelho Gomes' propensity to drop a clanger or two, are also weighing up a move for the 28-year-old.
But Schalke hope to beat the Premier League pair to it by making an official bid for Stekelenburg once the Neuer deal has been sealed.
