Raul offered to leave Real Madrid

Raul has offered to leave Real Madrid.
 
The club captain met with Real president Florentino Perez three weeks ago and said he wouldn't kick up a fuss if the club decided to sell him this summer.

A source told AS that Raul spoke with Perez and said: "I am at the disposal of the club. If you want me to make a sacrifice and leave, I am prepared to do so."

Raul knows his form over the last 18 months has not been good enough and is aware of interest from Liverpool.

But Perez told his captain: "You are the supporters' symbol and for us, untouchable. You are not for sale and we will not be listening to offers for you."

Raul is contracted to Real until 2010 and the Madrid giants are adamant they will not sell a player who is the best advertisement the club has for it's youth system.
