And I've just realised that headline only really makes sense if Man City, Lincoln City, Bradford City or any other City were on the cusp of a bid for the player.
Anyway, it's quite clearly another fabricated transfer rumour - that's why they're called rumours I suppose - but I occasionally get paid for writing this drivel so I'm going with it.
The 19-year-old was signed from Alemannia Aachen last summer for a fee of around €3 million and is a versatile attacker (can probably play on either wing or 'in-the-hole') who has cemented a first team place at Shalke.
But this is the real clincher, he's a Blue and has been quoted as saying as much on Shalke's official site.
Holtby has said: "I've been a fan of the club ever since they won the FA Cup in 1995, even though I was only five-years old. My dad was a huge Everton fan as well."
But, then again, so was Sean Dundee!
