1) Raul has denied he will make the opposite journey to David Beckham and Carlos Queiroz and swap Real Madrid for Manchester United.
Speculation was mounting in Spain that the prolific striker would follow his friend Fernando Hierro and coach Vicente del Bosque out of the Bernabeu.
But the Spain captain\'s agent insisted his client will stay with the La Liga winners.
"Raul will not leave Madrid," said agent Gines Carvajal. "There is no problem despite some reports in some media organs. And even less with the president, Florentino Perez."
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has described the 26-year-old as the best player in the world.
Raul, a former Atletico Madrid trainee, has won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid.

2)Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon has travelled to Paris for talks aimed at pushing through the transfer of Ronaldinho.
Paris St Germain have finally conceded that they are willing to sell the Brazil star, weeks after the Premiership champions lodged an initial bid of £13.9million.
And after PSG president Francis Graille set a Friday deadline for United to up their offer, Kenyon will meet his counterpart to thrash out a deal.
When asked if a move to the English champions was a possibility, Ronaldinho\'s agent Roberto Assis said: "Yes, very much so. We have a meeting later on today in Paris with Graille, myself and Peter Kenyon."
PSG have always insisetd they do not have to sell Ronaldinho, but coach Vahid Halilhodzic is resigned to selling the World Cup winner to raise cash for his rebuilding plans at the Parc des Princes.
United face competition from Real Madrid, and Halilhodzic is hoping for £24million to finance future deals.
"For the moment Ronnie is at PSG," said the Bosnian coach. "Me I would be delighted to coach a player of this stature.
"But his agents want him to leave and, if the club receive a huge offer, considering our financial situation, we will consider it.
"We would not have the possibility to recruit, maybe, if he remains. If finances were healthy he would never leave. That said, today, we have not received any offer."
