The Schalke striker wants his strike partner to extend his deal at the Veltins-Arena in order to challenge the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 to extend his deal at the club which is set to expire at the end of this season. Huntelaar feels that Raul’s
stay could lift the spirits in the Schalke camp and will give the club more strength in the coming campaigns.
Huntelaar showered praise on the former Real Madrid striker, and reckons that the Spaniard could lead the Royal Blues to a title triumph at the end of the season. He added that the club needs an experienced player like Raul to
challenge for major honours in the future and admitted that the player’s stay would also influence quality players to sign for Schalke.
While talking to Sports website, Bild.com, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international further mentioned:
"If he stays, that would be a positive signal for Schalke. Raul is a super player and we need his high level of quality in order to be successful."
Both Huntelaar and Raul have formed a perfect partnership upfront this season, and the duo has so far scored 25 goals between them.
The Dutch international expressed his confidence in his team’s chances this term, and feels that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues could stretch Bayern Munich until the very end for the Bundesliga season.
"If we continue as we did in the first round, we can in the best case achieve the highest success. Bayern [Munich] and [Borussia] Dortmund play more consistently than we do. But we are equal on points with Dortmund, not far from
the top. That says something, and must give us confidence," Huntelaar concluded.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international’s current contract with the German outfit ends this summer and there is widespread speculation that the striker will head to his former club Real Madrid to accept a coaching role with Los Blancos’ youth
side.
Raul will spend the remaining part of this season with Schalke, and will only decide about his future once the season expires in May.
