Only Man Utd says Raul

manutd02 · Feb 2, 2003

Thought this was interesting. According to soccerage.com, Raul has stated that he'd only leave Madrid for Manchester United, stating he was a big fan of Sir Alex. Not sure if we could every pry him away from Madrid, or if we could get our PLC to fork up the money for him, but might be interesting in the future

I wonder how much you have to spend to pry Raul away from Real.

It could also not be his genuine feelings BTW..
Often players talk about other rich clubs for an "edge" well in advance of contract talks.

This is from UEFA.com: "His contract with Madrid runs until 2005 and has a buy-out clause of €190m."

With that amount of money, you could buy a brand-new starting XI.
