Real Madrid Castilla coach Raul has resisted three offers to leave the club.

Marca says Espanyol were the most recent team to call.

Months ago, before the appointment of Diego Martinez, Espanyol tried to convince Raul to join the new project they were preparing to build on the foundations that would guarantee a solid future.

Raul was flattered by the ideas presented, but again preferred to remain at Valdebebas.

In winter, he was chosen by Leeds to replace Marcelo Bielsa. It was Victor Orta who took on the leading role to tempt the former Spanish international, but even his involvement was not enough on that occasion.

The renowned sporting director experienced the same sensation as Eintracht Frankfurt did last summer, when they tried for Raul who once more refused to move.
