Matija Nastasic looks set to be the next player to head through the exit door at Schalke 04.

According to Sky Germany, Fiorentina have agreed a deal to sign the 28-year-old centre-back.

Nastasic spent the 2011/12 season at Fiorentina before moving onto Manchester City and later Schalke 04.

He has made a total of 157 appearances for Schalke, who have already said goodbye to the likes of Benito Raman, Mark Uth and Suat Serdar after their relegation from the Bundesliga last season.
