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.
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.
