Real Madrid legend Raul will make a decision later this year after returning to the Santiago Bernabeu.
El Confidencial says Real president Florentino Perez has given Raul a December deadline to make a decision about returning to Madrid to join the club's front office.
Currently playing in Qatar with Al Sadd, Raul comes off contract on December 31. He also has an offer from USL club New York Cosmos to play on next year.
Raul has spent the past two years in Qatar and his family is settled in the state.
However, he has coaching ambitions and the opportunity to launch his new career at Real will prove difficult to turn down.
