Done Deal: Sebastian Rudy joins Schalke 04 on a four-year deal
Sebastian Rudy has joined Schalke 04 from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
The Germany international joins the Royal Blues for a reported fee of £14.5m until 30th June 2022.
The 28-year-old midfielder has made 25 appearances for the Bavarians in the German top flight last term and a further five in the Champions League, but the arrival of Leon Goretzka from Schalke pushed Rudy further down the pecking order.
