Gelsenkirchen started negotiations with Raul for signing a new contract. Although it was thought that the Spaniard would leave the team after this season, recently there have been different reports. "We had a good conversation, exchanged views," said Schalke's sporting director Horst Heidt. It is said that Raul currently earns about 7 million euros per year. The German club can no longer afford to pay that much, so they offer 4 million, and the player himself would be willing to reduce his salary to 5 million euros. This season in the Bundesliga, the striker scored ten goals in 18 matches.
