Speculation Mounts Over Raul’s Return to Real Madrid as Sporting Director
Rumours are circulating that former Real Madrid striker Raul may soon return to the Bernabéu in a new role. According to reports in El Mundo, club president Florentino Pérez is pushing for Raul’s comeback, even though the legendary forward is currently under contract with Qatari side Al Sadd.
The Spanish club is said to be preparing to fill the vacancy in its management ranks following Miguel Pardeza’s departure this summer. Pérez reportedly envisions Raul taking up the position of Sporting Director, a move that would mark a new chapter for the former international and longtime club icon.
While many fans eagerly anticipate the day when Raul returns to work for the club he once dominated on the pitch, questions remain about whether the former star is ready to trade his active playing career for an administrative role in football.
Real Madrid’s interest underscores the club’s ongoing efforts to bolster its structure off the field while retaining strong connections with its illustrious past. However, only time will tell if Raul will agree to a transition that effectively signals the end of his playing days in order to embrace life in a managerial capacity.
