Schalke had been tempted to move into the winter transfer window to search for an able replacement, but eventually opted to wait for Huntelaar's recovery.
And Holland international forward Huntelaar has now disregarded any notion of an exit, even as his contract runs out in 2015.

"My contract is actually no issue," he told Bild. "It is not in my plan to leave Schalke.
"I am concentrating only on Schalke. I have a contract for one-and-a-half years left.
