Departing Real Madrid captain Raul claims he is considering a move to England, denying a deal with Schalke is already done. The veteran striker has announced his departure from the club where he has spent his entire career and had been expected to sign for Schalke, but the 33-year-old says a move to the Premier League is also a possibility.
"The German team is interested in me and I have had very deep discussions with them," he said.
"In a few days I will know whether I'll be going to the Bundesliga, but there are other teams that are also interested. What is clear is that my future lies in Germany or England," he added.
Tottenham and Newcastle have been linked with the veteran striker, while Liverpool and Manchester United have also been mentioned as possible destinations for the Madrid idol.
Raul, though, says the decision to leave Madrid was a tough one.
"It's a hard day for me," he said.
"I feel like a footballer still and I will keep on playing, but I will always be loyal to Real Madrid. I have tried to give everything in my time here."
