Raul signs for Schalke after leaving Real Madrid

Former Spain striker Raul has joined German side Schalke after ending his 18-year career with Real Madrid.


The 33-year-old, who announced his departure from the Spanish giants on Monday, had hinted he could make a move to a Premier League side in England.
But on Wednesday he signed a two-year deal with Schalke, who finished second in the Bundesliga last season.
"We have signed an exceptional footballer and world-class goalscorer," said Schalke coach Felix Magath.
"His signing is a decisive step in our efforts to strengthen and restructure the squad."
