Raul’s agent confirms that the player will return to Real Madrid after retirement- Bundesliga news
Former Real Madrid striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652’s agent has confirmed that the player will return to Los Blancos once he retires and is expected to take over a coaching role at his former side. He claimed that the Spaniard will return to his home
country most probably at the end of the current season and will be back to help his boyhood club, Real Madrid.
Raul’s current contract with Schalke expires at the end of the season and it is highly unlikely that the player will sign a new deal with the German giants. The striker’s future with Die Knappen was in uncertainty in the January
transfer window when clubs like Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 and Paris Saint-Germain had revealed interest to sign him. But he opted to stay and confirmed that he will honour his contract.
Gines Carvajal, the player’s representative, insisted that Raul will surely have some role at his former club where he has spent 16 years.
“Raul will have some role at Real Madrid when he retires as a player,”
The agent revealed that Schalke had offered the striker a new deal last year but the Spaniard has currently put the talks on hold and wants to decide at the end of the campaign. He admitted that the striker wants to make his decision
after the team’s performance in this campaign.
“Schalke offered Raul one more year. In truth, they offered that last year. It's not that we rejected it, but that we agreed to talk later because Raul wanted to know how the season would end and how we would approach the next
one,” he continued.
Carvajal added that Raul will only sign a new deal if he feels he is fit to play for another year and can add something to the side.
“Raul has a contract until 2012, and at 35 he wants to be very sure he can still add something [to the team],” he concluded.
Raul has so far made 59 appearances for Schalke and scored 24 goals in the process.
