The midfielder was the subject of interest of a host of European clubs after his exploits with Basel, and it was German club Schalke 04 who secured his services for a fee of €5 million on 22 June 2007. The Croatian scored his first Bundesliga goal within seven minutes of his debut as Schalke and VfB Stuttgart played out a 2-2 draw. During his four season spell at the German club, the Croatian featured in 135 games, scoring 16 goals and providing 29 assists.

He earned himself a spot in both UEFA Europa League Team of the Season (2013/14) and La Liga Team of the Season (2013/14).
