Raul will have to accept a limited role at Real Madrid if Florentino Perez wins this summer's elections.
Sport says Perez wants to end Raul's 'untouchable' status as he plans to shake-up Europe with at least two massive attacking signings.
Lyon ace Karim Benzema and Valencia striker David Villa are Perez's top two targets and will be assured in negotiations that they won't have to play second fiddle to Raul should they agree to move to Madrid.
Villa already has a great rivalry with Raul and wears the No7 shirt for Spain with great pride.
