Schalke 04 “authorised Juventus to speak with Julian Draxler,” but are reportedly unwilling to release him on loan.
“Juventus sent us a written request asking to be authorised to speak with Draxler’s agent,” Schalke director of sport Horst Heldt told Bild.
“We allowed it, even though at the moment we haven’t received a precise offer from the Turin club.”
According to Sportitalia, Schalke are not prepared to release Draxler on loan with an option to buy, accepting only a permanent transfer.

This is a problem for Juve, who want to evaluate his fitness levels over a whole season before committing to such a big move.
The 21-year-old made only eight Bundesliga starts last season and the asking price is €35m.
