The return of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to FC Schalke 04 is perfect.
As the bottom of the table in the Bundesliga confirmed on Tuesday, the 37-year-old striker from Ajax Amsterdam is moving to his former club with immediate effect and signed a contract until the end of the current season.
“I want to do my part to ensure that we keep relegation.
Schalke belongs to the first Bundesliga.
It is now our responsibility to ensure that it stays that way, ”said Huntelaar.
126 competitive goals
The financially troubled Revierklub did not provide any specific information about the payment modalities.
However, the top Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam have shown themselves to be "cooperative".

“Klaas-Jan's commitment has two central components: In terms of sport, his qualities are undisputed, which he only proved again last week with a double pack.
At least as important are his personality, his great experience and his connection to Schalke 04 ”, said sports director Jochen Schneider.

Huntelaar had scored a total of 126 competitive goals for Schalke from 2010 to 2017.
After Sead Kolasinac from Arsenal FC, he is the second winter returnee who should help keep the league.
Despite Huntelaar's advanced age, Schalke's coach Christian Gross had recently campaigned for the return campaign: “He would do us a lot.
If a player with the experience, with this aura, this personality and with these qualities would hang on to us again, it would be fantastic. "
