That doesn’t mean that the defender will retire at Ewood, he has hinted that he would be interested in moving further afield.
The 34 year old told the Lancashire Telegraph: "In Europe, yes. I think this is enough.
"It's a long career with competitive teams, 10 years with Real Madrid, and now I am really enjoying it with Blackburn.
"I think it's going to be my last in Europe, but I still think I have some exciting time ahead here. I wouldn't keep playing if I didn't believe that."
