The Schalke striker has recently hinted at extending his stay at the club after finishing as the top goal scorer in this season’s Bundesliga.
Schalke striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175, has revealed that he could sign his contract extension prior to the start of the 2012 European championship. He was talking after leading his side to a win in Schalke’s last league fixture
of the season against Werder Bremen on Saturday, May 05, at the Weserstadion.
Huntelaar bagged a brace while Julian Draxler scored the other goal for his side. The Dutchman scored his two goals in the space of nine minutes to become the leading goal scorer in this year’s Bundesliga surpassing Bayern Munich’s
Mario Gomez.
While talking to reporters after the game, the striker expressed his desire to continue plying his trade at the Veltins Arena after previously failing to confirm his stay beyond his usual deal until 2013.
The former AC Milan player admitted his affection for the club and specified that he will put pen to paper only if the club bosses bring new and experienced faces during the upcoming summer transfer window.He demanded some reinforcements
prior to the start of next season in order to challenge the teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League.
With the end of this season’s Bundesliga, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues have lost the services of their premier striker, Raul Gonzalez. The Spaniard was the club’s mainstay for two years but has now departed for a new journey and possibly the
last of his career.
When asked further about his ongoing negotiations with the Veltins Arena officials, the 28-year-old further added: “We have started negotiations and these have been positive. Everybody knows that I feel well at Schalke. Maybe I’ll
make my decision even before the European Championship.”
Huntelaar enthused that he wishes to see a team which can prosper at a bigger stage in Europe and he will love to be a part of such outfit. “For me it is important that we have a team that can do well in the Champions League. I
have confidence in Horst Heldt that he will bring new stars,” Huntelaar concluded.
The striker finished this season as the Bundesliga’s leading goal scorer behind Gomez with 29 goals from 32 league outings. He will definitely be the key member for Schalke from next season onwards when the Gelsenkirchen outfit
will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 for the first time in two years.
