Neuer, who was one of the few stars in this year’s Bundesliga, invited interest from Premier League giants, Manchester United, and fellow German outfit, Bayer Leverkusen. The shot-stopper eventually decided to part ways with Schalke in favour of Leverkusen

to help Arsenal overcome their goalkeeping problems in 2011.
Now Schalke have desired to sign the veteran on a permanent basis which could provide Lehmann with an opportunity to end his career while playing for the club from where he started in 1988.
