Raul: I'll play in England or Germany

Raul claims he is considering a move to England following his departure from Real Madrid, denying a deal with Schalke is already done.

The veteran striker today announced his departure from the club where he has spent his entire career and had been expected to sign for Schalke, possibly as early as this afternoon, but the 33-year-old says a move to the Barclays Premier League is also a possibility.

"The German team is interested in me and I have had very deep discussions with them," he said.

"In a few days I will know whether I'll be going to the Bundesliga, but there are other teams that are also interested. What is clear is that my future lies in Germany or England," he added.

Tottenham and Newcastle have been linked with the veteran striker, while Liverpool and Manchester United have also been mentioned as possible destinations for the Madrid idol.
