Despite signing a contract extension last February, Taylan Bulut is among the candidates likely to leave Schalke 04 this summer. 

The talented 19-year-old wants to take the next step in his career and leave Gelsenkirchen, with sources already lining up his next club. 

As Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu reports, Beşiktaş has submitted an official offer to the Royal Blues to sign Bulut.

Accordingly, Bulut is desperate to move to the Istanbul club and is currently awaiting an agreement between the two teams.

Sky Germany has since reinforced that rumour, with Beşiktaş and Schalke already in advanced talks about a transfer.

The sum could amount to between €5-6million euros including bonuses for the current German U-19 international full-back.
