A French journalist has claimed that talks are continuing between Schalke and Chris Jullien. 

On Wednesday the defender was reported to be in France undergoing a medical but on Thursday he was back at Celtic after the deal broke down. 

With both parties interested some sort of agreement could be struck but the player and club are likely to be assessing what other options are available. 

This morning Marc Mechenoua tweeted: 

Christopher Jullien’s move to Schalke 04 is not completely ruled out. Discussions are continuing between the player’s representatives and the Ruhr club. Still no agreement between the two parties. #Mercato #Bundesliga @GoalFrance 

Mechenoua is a reporter for Goal. 

With a year left on his contract and claims that Celtic have an option to extend the move there are a number of variables at play regarding Jullien. Almost certainly his future lies elsewhere unless Celtic suddenly find themselves without Carl Starfelt and Chris Jullien. 

On Monday Celtic fly to Austria to step up pre-season training with two matches to be played. It is unclear whether Jullien will be in the squad, beyond Stephen Welsh the only options available to Ange Postecoglou are the untried duo of Osaze Urhoghide and Liam Shaw.
