Los Merengues' captain was reacting to Wesley Sneijder's belief that the Manchester United star's hefty salary may upset some of the club's senior players if he did move to the Bernabéu.
Pointing to the unity forged under Bernd Schuster and built on two successive league title wins, Raúl thinks that the squad would welcome Ronaldo.
"I see no reason why he would cause problems. I think it could be very positive because we have a great squad, with a lot of big players and it is obvious that if a player of a very high level joined he would be welcome and helped to adapt," he told AS.
"We know the path to success and that is how we will continue to work. We have some important challenges ahead knowing that after winning two consecutive leagues we will have toi raise our game even more.
"Our good form will continue whether Cristiano comes or not and at whatever price. Nothing will break up the unity we currently have."
One rumour that Raúl would not like to see materialise however, is for Robinho to exit Madrid if Ronaldo were to arrive because he believes that the Brazilian has been so impressive.
"I think Robinho is a truly great player that has improved dramatically here and last year reached a very high level," he continued.
"But I also hink that Cristiano is a player that everyone would want. He is a great player and is one of the best in the world at the moment.
"Last year he scored over 30 goals and won the title and the Champions League. He is certainly one of the best. But it is a sporting and a technical decision. If they believe he is necessary then they will try and sign him."
Madrid are currently in Austria for a pre-season training camp and their captain is still impressed by the spirit in the camp and the desire to improve.
"We are also starting off having won the league for the last two years and I think we have a great squad, as much for its human qualities as for the football ability," he explained.
"Every summer with Madrid there is talk of certain players coming in and others going and it is normal.
"Now it just important that we train hard and find our form. If someone comes in then they will be welcomed and if players have to leave we will miss them."
