Schalke have told Tottenham that they must increase their offer if Lewis Holtby is to join this month.
Spurs have had two bids already rejected by the Bundesliga club, the latest is said to be around £850,000 for the attacking midfielder who is due to move to White Hart Lane on a free in July.
“We are in intensive talks, but Lewis is a young Germany international with the quality that goes with it and you don’t just give somebody like that away for a bargain price,” said Schalke 04’s director of sport Horst Heldt to Germany’s dpa agency.
