Schwegler is currently with Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 where he was captain of the side that played league-leaders Bayern Munich earlier this month.
He started his career in the Swiss Super League at FC Luzern and Young Boys, before making the switch to Germany.
Schwegler joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 and has gone on to make over 250 appearances in the Bundesliga at clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt, 1899 Hoffenheim and currently Hannover 96.
The Wanderers are set to have a very new look next season with the club releasing 11 players from their 2018/19 squad recently, while skipper Brendan Hamill also confirmed his departure on Tuesday.
