According to an update shared on AS, it has come to light that Schalke are increasingly hopeful of securing Real Madrid Castilla coach Raul Gonzalez for the 2025-26 season.
The German club view him as their ideal candidate to lead their long-term project, regardless of whether they remain in the second division or achieve promotion to the Bundesliga.
It must be noted that Schalke have approached Raul multiple times in the past, and as the current season nears its conclusion, they are preparing to make another strong push for his signature.
There is growing confidence within the club that he could be convinced to take charge, as they see him as their version of Xabi Alonso—a former player returning to lead the team back to prominence.
