Spanish legend Raul admitted he held talks with Real Madrid boss Juande Ramos while he was still in charge of Tottenham. Real striker Raul, who broke his club's goal-scoring record on Sunday, has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past. The 31-year-old shares the same agent as Ramos - Gines Carvajal - and is an admirerer of the English game. Special bond: Raul has a close relationship with Ramos at Real MadridRamos was sacked by Spurs in October and reports in Spain suggested Raul played a part in his countryman taking over at the Bernabeu. But Spain's record scorer told Digital Plus: 'Four months ago, Juande and I had a meal with Gines Carvajal, who is our agent and a friend of mine. 'They called me because I like English football and I wanted Juande to tell me about his experience of Tottenham and of The Premier League. 'He is a football man and speaking with him is a pleasure. 'A chain of events meant that he was sacked and then Madrid were interested in him. The fact that we share the same agent led to unfortunate interpretations. 'Juande is a winning coach and he has proved that he is good enough to manage Real Madrid.'
