Spanish media this week claimed City were hoping to tempt the 31-year-old forward to England in a massive deal, and although Mark Hughes subsequently played down the reports, Raul revealed in Marca that there had been contact.

However, Real's all-time record goalscorer, who made his debut for the Spanish giants 15 years ago, was also adamant that he has no intention of leaving his home-town club despite rumours of a lucrative four-year contract worth 40 million euros.

"It's true that there has been contact with my representative Gines Carvajal from Manchester City, but I've not considered it because I'm not going to leave here" the 31-year-old said.

"I'm only thinking about finishing my career at Real Madrid, which is my club and where I still have many things to do.

"When they told me of City's offer I didn't have a single moment's doubt. My place is here and I still think I can help the team win titles."

Raul's agent Carvajal added: "Yes, it's true that there has been interest and nothing more.

"When I told Raul about the offer he told me he didn't want to waste time on this matter. City have a good project, but Raul is a Real Madrid man."

Raul will play his 699th match for Real this weekend against Valencia. Madrid need a win in order to prolong the title race with leaders Barcelona for another week.

City seem desperate to land a big name before the start of next season, having already been heavily linked with Kaka at the start of the year and Samuel Eto'o last month.
