Reports out of Spain suggest that Raul will be heading to Major League Soccer this Summer, specifically to the New York Red Bulls.

He has fallen in the depth chart at Madrid, not surprising considering his age and the new strikers that Madrid seems to sign on a weekly basis.

Raul has previously stated his desire to play in America, and this could be the perfect time for the 32 year old to make the change. MLS has instituted the designated player rule allowing for a player’s salary to be as large as the team wants and not have it count against the salary cap, and NY has the DP slot to make the move. Let’s hope a deal can be reached
