Schalke 04 coach Felix Magath remains confident of signing Real Madrid captain Raul.
Magath has held contract talks with Raul and his agent, Gines Carvajal, this summer and is waiting on a final response from the 33 year-old striker.
"Raul has shown interest in coming to Schalke. You may imagine him with us here in the coming days or weeks," said Magath.
"The more I hear of him rejecting other offers, the more convinced I am that he wants to play for Schalke."
