German international defender Christoph Metzelder, who has had three injury-ravaged years with Real Madrid, is to return to the Bundesliga with Schalke 04, Bild newsppaer said on Tuesday.

The paper said the clubs had agreed a deal for the 29-year-old after the player had talks with coach Felix Magath in Berlin.

No mention was made of a transfer fee.

Metzelder's contract with Real would have run out this summer and his fitness problems mean he has not held down a regular place since his 2007 arrival from Borussia Dortmund.

Wolfsburg were another German reputedly interested in bringing him home.
