Schalke is looking to offload midfield pair Jermaine Jones and Jose Jurado who are surplus to requirements, and are hoping for interest from Turkish clubs who have two days to go until their transfer window closes, according to Bild.
The Bundesliga club has slashed their squad from 58 players to 41 this summer and is looking to sell both Jones and Jurado who are high-earners at the Gelsenkirchen side.
Jones has three years left on his current contract that is believed to be worth €4 million a year while Jurado only joined the club from Atletico Madrid last campaign and signed a contract worth €3.5 per annum.
Neither player has featured regularly under coach Ralf Rangnick this season, with the former Hoffenheim tactician choosing a more youthful midfield.
Jurado cost Schalke €13m but is believed to be available for around €8m, while club sporting director Horst Heldt is said to be willing to listen to all offers for Jones, who spent the second half of last season on-loan at Blackburn Rovers.
Schalke resume Bundesliga action next Sunday when they travel to Wolfsburg.
