Raul has revealed that he wants to retire at Real Madrid rather than move abroad. There have been reports of late that suggest he could be mooting the idea of hanging his boots up next summer.

Los Merengues' captain had previously stated that if he were not a regular at the Santiago Bernabeu then he may be tempted to try something new before retiring.

Instead, he now wants to close his playing career with Madrid, though he did not elaborate on when that may be.

"My dream was to begin and end here, but circumstances change and decisions sometimes need to be made," he told reporters in Spain.

"I think the Real Madrid-Raul relationship is hard to break, so I hope to end my career here."

How long he has left at the highest level is not something that Raul can yet tell as he was asked about his thoughts on how long he can continue playing.

"A little less every day, but I intend to continue fighting and enjoying the game - we'll see how long I hold up," he added.
