Luis Figo has spoken of his desire to play in England once he leaves Real Madrid. Although he has 18 months left on his contract at Madrid it does not look like he will get an extension, so has began making plans for the future, with perhaps even a summer switch on the cards.

Speaking to Onda Madrid the player stated:

"I am certain that I am not going to play for another club in Spain.”

"I have that very clear."

"England is a dream for the prestige and respect for professionals there is, but sometimes dreams don't come true.”

"My first intention is to complete my contract because it is a way of repaying the chance they took on me.”

"But like any human being, I want to know my future as soon as possible.”

"At my age it's logical that they should let me go at the end of this season if they are not going to extend my contract."
