Former Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano can see Raul returning to the club next season.

Raul, 36, is playing for Al Sadd in Qatar this year.

But Valdano says: "He is calm and I am even more eager to know his future than he is.

"Raul admires German football the most rather than Brazilian, so he will have a different style to Pep Guardiola. But I think he will soon be back at Madrid, like Guardiola did with Barcelona. He is preparing for that."
