Brazilian defender Naldo will join Schalke on a free transfer from Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg this summer.
The 33-year-old has agreed a two-year contract with Schalke which runs until June 2018 with the option to extend.
Schalke's new sporting director Christian Heidel said: "Once we heard Naldo was available, we immediately worked on the transfer.
"It was extremely important to win such an experienced player for a young, talented team full of potential, such as the one we have."
Naldo, who has made four appearances for Brazil, played 173 Bundesliga games for Werder Bremen after moving from Juventude Caxias do Sul in 2005, helping them win the German Cup in 2009.
He then joined Wolfsburg in 2012, scoring 16 goals in 125 league games and winning the German Cup again in 2015.
