Report: Blackburn Rovers Interested In Signing Real Madrid Legend Raul



Could Raul be on his way to Ewood Park?

Blackburn Rovers are believed to be planning a shock swoop for legendary Real Madrid forward Raul.

The Spaniard had a relatively quiet season for the Primera Division heavyweights, and Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce is consequently hopeful he can lure him to Ewood Park. Allardyce is reportedly readying a sensational bid to prise the hitman away from the White House.

And The Daily Express claims that the 33-year-old is now willing to leave the Madrid-based club following the arrival of Jose Mourinho at the helm, and could welcome a move to the Premier League.

It has been reported than Schalke and Sampdoria are also interested in making a move for the veteran striker, but Rovers are said to be putting together a lucrative package which they hope will tempt Raul to throw in his lot with the east Lancashire side.

His signing would be a coup for Rovers, not least because Raul has also been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
