FC Schalke 04 look extremely likely to miss out on the chance of bringing Facundo Buonanotte to Gelsenkirchen this summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Brighton & Hove Albion prospect is on the verge of a move to FC Elche .
An agreement in principle has reportedly been reached between the Premier League side and the La Liga outfit from Spain's east coast.
Buonanotte is expected to join Elche on a one-year loan, however they have not been granted an option to buy the Argentinean.
According to the report, all verbal hurdles have already been overcome; the deal still needs to be finalized in writing.
After Schalke failed to secure the signing of Jesper Lindstrøm , another with Buonanotte also appears to have fallen through.
