Russian Premier League side Dynamo Moscow are considering strengthening their attack with Spanish football legend, Raul Gonzalez.

Raul’s contract with Schalke-04 expires in the summer and, according to ITASportPress, Dyanmo are eager to pay the German club €8 million for his transfer.
The 34-year-old veteran is one of the greatest forwards in the history of Spanish football.
After becoming Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer with 323 goals, Raul moved to the Bundesliga in 2010, collecting 20 goals in 49 appearances there.
Dynamo are known for having firm business relations with Schalke, adding fuel to speculation about the move.
The Muscovites have already acquired star-forward Kevin Kuranyi for the German side back in 2010.   
It is not the first time Raul has been linked with a move to Russia. During the summer transfer window, the media reported on Anzhi Makhachkala’s interest in the player.
