Schalke remain coy over Huntelaar speculation

German Bundesliga side Schalke are remaining cool over speculation linking striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar with a move to Liverpool.

Liverpool are reportedly set to table a bid in the coming weeks or so, after viewing the Dutch striker as a replacement for the departing Luis Suarez, who looks set to sign for Spanish La Liga side Barcelona.

30 year old Huntelaar himself has played down any speculation linking him with a move, with the former AC Milan and Real Madrid striker entering the final year of his current deal with Schalke.

And club general manager Horst Heldt stated that the club are in no real position to sell their striker, who scored 14 goals in 21 games last season.

“Most recently, I’ve read that Liverpool FC should have interest in Klaas-Jan Huntelaar,” Heldt told the club’s official website.

“Liverpool, Klaas-Jan and also his adviser have not contacted us.

“And we also have no interest in selling the player.”
