Playmaker would choose Premier League if he ever leaves Real
Real Madrid playmaker Guti has admitted that he would consider a move to the Premier League if he was ever to leave the Spanish giants.
The Spaniard would prefer to see out his career with Real Madrid but would consider a move to England if that goal does not materialise.
Guti has been a part of the senior squad at the Bernabeu for over a decade and would have no doubts in renewing his contract when his current one runs out in 2010.
"I want to retire here. I will play until my body tells me to stop," he said in an interview with Spanish radio station Onda Madrid.
Intention
"I want to renew my contract for two more years when the current one runs out.
"If not, everybody knows that it is my intention to play in the Premier League. It is my second option.
"I like the cities of Liverpool and Manchester, but I would go to any team in London."
The 31-year-old also hinted at a move into management once he hangs up his boots and counts current manager Bernd Schuster among his role models.
He added: "I would like some relationship with football because it has given me my life.
Respect
"The first thing I will do is get a coaching licence, just in case. I've always said the best coaches and those who understand players better are those who have been players themselves.
"I guess I would have a similar style to Schuster's as a coach.
"It is the best relationship that I have had with a coach. I have his respect and I know that I can slip up or have a bad game and it does not matter.
"Nobody has treated me like he has. Before, replacing Guti was the easiest substitution to make."
