Schalke 04 are interested in re-signing Ghana international Bernard Tekpetey who they sold to SC Paderborn 07 in the summer.
Joining the Bundesliga 2 side on a permanent deal, Tekpetey has been a delight to watch in the German second tier.
The offensive midfielder has bagged 7 goals and 3 assists in 17 league appearances and has also become the fans' favorite.
As a sign of regret on the side of Schalke 04 who are currently lying 13th on the Bundesliga table, the Royal Blues want to activate the buyback clause on the 21 year-old.
It is unknown at the moment whether Paderborn would like to consider to transfer Tekpetey back to Schalke.
Tekpetey has a contract with Paderborn which runs until June, 2021.
