Jefferson Farfan willing to stay with Schalke 04 – German Bundesliga News
Schalke 04 star, Jefferson Farfan, has expressed his commitment to playing with Schalke next season despite heavy interest from the Italian Serie A sides. It has been reported that the Peruvian International intends to stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 following the announcement
that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ralf-c30492 Rangnick will manage the Bundesliga strugglers.
Furthermore, reports also suggest that Farfan’s agent is in negotiations with the club officials regarding a contract extension as the winger’s current contract is set to run out in 2012. The news has come just days after the Peruvian player’s agent announced
that a host of Italian Serie A clubs are interested in signing the tricky winger and are sizing up respective offers. While talking to the media, Farfan’s agent said, “Jefferson is very pleased with the new coach and is looking forward to the quarterfinals
of the Champions League.” He also said that Farfan met the club’s officials and talks about a possible contract extension are already underway.
The news is definitely a major boost for the club that has excelled in Europe but hasn’t had the best of campaigns in the German Bundesliga. The club has failed to replicate its excellent European form to domestic level, leading to the departure of former
team manager, Felix Magath. As things stand, Schalke are in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League and in the final of the DFB Pokal, where they will meet Bundesliga 2 side Duisburg. In the Champions League quarterfinal, Schalke will face reigning
European champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
Now that Farfan has decided to stay at the club, Schalke can exhibit optimism regarding the upcoming season. If the club manages to win the DFB Pokal, they will qualify for next season’s edition of Europa League, which means that Schalke will be able to
attract quality players to the club. The Peruvian international has been the club’s best player by far this season and it was widely believed that Felix Magath’s presence at the club could force the player to seek a move elsewhere. However, with the arrival
of Rangnick as the new coach, Farfan will stay at the club after he is offered a contract extension.
