| Striker Raul stays back as Schalke travel to Helsinki Posted: 17 Aug 2011 04:28 AM PDT  Schalke 04's Raul (L) fights for the ball with Angelo Saggiomo of FC Teningen during their DFB first round German soccer cup (DFB-Pokal) match in Freiburg July 31, 2011. Raul, who rejected an offer to move to Blackburn Rovers, has not travelled with the team to Finland for their Europa League playoff against HJK Helsinki. – Reuters pic Officially Schalke said that the 34-year-old Raul stayed back to be ready for their Bundesliga game against Mainz 05 at the weekend and would not play in the first leg of the playoff against Helsinki on artificial grass tomorrow. But if Raul played in Helsinki, he would not be eligible to play in European competitions for another club, should he choose to move. Schalke team manager Horst Heldt said today that Raul had informed the German club he did not want to move to Blackburn, who had earlier officially expressed an interest in signing the former Real Madrid and Spain striker. Heldt, however, did not rule out a move by Raul before the end of the transfer window, telling Bild newspaper that the Spaniard would be staying at Schalke "as things stand now". Raul, who has a contract until 2012, has been linked with a move after rejecting a spot on the club's board and seeing his freedom on the pitch curbed by his replacement Ralf Rangnick this term. He scored a superb goal in last weekend's 5-1 win over Cologne but hardly celebrated, fanning speculation he was not happy in Gelsenkirchen and was ready to leave. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
