The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international is still holding out for his contract negotiations with the Bundesliga outfit, and is not declaring his stance on the new deal.
FC Schalke head coach Huub Stevens claims that the Dutch forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 is not extending his current contract with the club, despite having only a year left on his deal which will run out next summer. The player has
issued an ultimatum that he wants to see the Miners’ ambition before committing his future with the German team.
The attacker is closely followed by English Premier League duo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, and Juventus. The manager believes that the contract talks are much publicised and they are looking to remain that way for the near future without
any solution. He said that Huntelaar’s future is significant not his pay salary or contract length.
"Obviously it is a controversial topic and is looking to stay like that for quite a while. We are talking about Klaas-Jan, we are not talking about any money issues or something in his contract,” Stevens was quoted as saying in
an interview.
The former Real Madrid and AC Milan striker wants to see how the team will shape up this season along with the club officials. The tactician stressed that negotiations will carry on but is confident that a favourable outcome will
come forward for both parties.
"He wants to see how the club is developing. We all do. For the moment I do not see an end of the discussion but I am positive that we can figure something out with him,” he added.
"(But) I cannot promise anything. It takes time. We have all the calm we need, just like with Jefferson Farfan. And as you know - he stayed," he finally concluded.
Moreover, Stevens said that he cannot guarantee the attacker’s contract renewal and told that these things are very time consuming, therefore, they have to be patient like they were with Jefferson Farfan last term. That situation
was similar to this one and Farfan eventually decided to stay put with Die Knappen side.
