Raul has declared his willingness to continue to turn out for Schalke.

 

The former Real Madrid favourite sees his current deal with the Ruhr giants run out at the end of the current campaign.

 

But despite speculation that he may head elsewhere, the 34-year-old is keen to sit down with Schalke in January and speak about an extension.

 

"I want to continue playing here, but we’ll see about it next month", Raul told Sky Bundesliga.

 

"The talks are scheduled for January", added the Spaniard.

 

Raul bagged a hat-trick in Saturday’s clash with Werder Bremen, a game Schalke won 5-0 and one which sees the club sit third in the Bundesliga.

 

The 34-year-old has scored 10 goals in the Bundesliga this season.
