“Madrid has opened doors for me. I have a good relationship with the President, but there’ll be a time to return. If I worked at a club my first choice would be Madrid. There is time to return.
“Everything has been talked about: Coach, sporting director, President. We’ll see. I don’t rule anything out.”
