Schalke 04 look set to boost their front line next season with the addition of Hungary striker Adam Szalai after agreeing a deal with Mainz 05 on Thursday.
The powerful 25-year-old, who played for the Real Madrid reserves between 2007-2010, has scored 21 goals in 79 Bundesliga games since joining Mainz on loan three years ago.
"We have agreed with Mainz 05 on the transfer of Szalai, we are currently exchanging contracts and are waiting for the medical check," Schalke sports director Horst Heldt said on the club's Twitter feed.
Schalke will play in next season's Champions League qualifying rounds after finishing fourth in the Bundesliga.
