"We are delighted with the good performances Mark Uth has shown in Köln. Right now, I assume that he will wear the royal blue jersey again in the new season," Schneider told Bild.
FC Köln boss Horst Heldt has said he would like to keep the 28-year-old beyond this season.
In light of the corona crisis, however, Köln probably can't afford to pay the €10 million release clause in Uth's deal.
According to Bild, Schalke don't want to let him go for less than this release clause or send him out on loan for another season.
