"After 11 years here I want what is best for the club," Raul said.
"If at some time I have to sacrifice myself in order for the team to progress then I will do.
"If the club calls you up and says you have to go then as a player you have to be prepared to look for a way out that benefits everyone.
"If I listen to the polls in some papers, it looks as though I should leave now.
"I still feel useful to the club and believe I have not reached my peak, but I don't want to be in the way. All I want is for the club to be clear with me."
Raul has found his place in the Madrid team under threat from ex-Red Michael Owen.
