Rudy joins Schalke from Bayern Munich
Schalke have announced the signing of Germany midfielder Sebastian Rudy in a deal reported to be worth €16million.

Sebastian Rudy has completed his move to Schalke from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
The Germany international signed a four-year deal to wrap up a transfer worth a reported €16million, ending a season-long stay with Bayern.
Rudy's arrival will help Schalke address the loss of Leon Goretzka to Bayern after finishing second to the runaway champions in last season's Bundesliga.
"I'm convinced of the way the club wants to go and would like to be a part of it," Rudy told Schalke's website.
"And I'm really looking forward to the fans and the atmosphere at Schalke."

"He has played an important part in winning the sixth title in succession last season. We wish Sebastian all the best for his future."
