Magath: Farfán is not for sale

(GSM) – Schalke 04 boss Felix Magath has ruled out any possible idea of selling Jefferson Farfán in the January transfer window.

Farfán, who joined Die Königsblauen from PSV in June 2008, has been in impressive form despite the club’s poor start to the Bundesliga season.

Such inspired form has seen him reportedly attract the interest of Valencia, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.

But Magath insists that the Peruvian is not for sale.

The Schalke boss told BILD: “Selling Jefferson is not an issue. And I can’t imagine that he wants to change clubs.”

There is still room for improvement in the 26-year-old’s game, according to the former Bayern München and Wolfsburg boss.

“He is a class player who works hard,” said Magath. “But he also must make more goals.”
