"All of the signals coming from Raul in recent days have been extremely positive," club president Clemens Tonnies revealed.&nbsp;<br />

"He has already dropped anchor in Schalke and he identifies himself with the club and the fans. He really feels happy here. I have a very good feeling."<br />

Raul, 34, has been linked with a move to Premier League side Blackburn recently but the former Spain captain rejected a move to England whilst he is happy in Germany.
