The Serbian international joined Roberto Di Matteo’s side in January for the remainder of the season, but the Royal Blues have been impressed by his performances, and activated a buyout-clause to secure his services permanently, with the youngster quick to sign the four-year deal.

The official Schalke Twitter account posted this on Wednesday morning:

The defender is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: “I am proud and happy to remain.”

Nastasic started in Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory over Real Madrid, with his team narrowly missing out on a place in the Champions League quarter-finals after losing 5-4 on aggregate.
