According to SSN - Liverpool, Spuds and Arsenal all interested but not so interested because of his wages. He's apparently been told he's the German Messi from a young age and come to believe that. Reason he's left is because Schalke wouldn't bow to his wage demands and doing more on the pitch, he also wants the same respect ex-players get and feels he's not getting it.

BBC linked him with those 3 plus Everton and West Ham (who are linked with almost every player though ).

His agent says he'd prefer to move to the prem and is hoping a top team there will match what he wants in wages.

Based all on the info on the web, think it's unlikely he'd want to come to us, or we'd pay the wages he seems to want.
