Raul is considering his future at Real Madrid.

He has spent his entire career to date with his hometown club, despite numerous attempts to lure him away from the Spanish capital.

Raul has been a first-team fixture at Real since he was 17 and has been a regular source of goals for the club during that time.

The former Spain international has, however, slipped down the pecking order of late and now often finds himself among the substitutes.

He insists that he is happy to remain at Real 'for now', but admits 'there will be time to talk' about 'what may happen' in the near future.

The 32-year-old admits his current situation is far from ideal, for a man who has had a glittering career at the highest level, but he accepts that there was always going to become a time when he stepped out of the spotlight.

"It's not an ideal situation for any player," he said.

"For 15 years I have won practically everything, and in the last three months I have played less. Sooner or later I had to come to his point."
