Cristiano Ronaldo Could Be Priced Out Of Real Madrid- Guillem Balague

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague belivess Cristiano Ronaldo could be priced out of a move from Real Madrid. Ronaldo's future at the Santiago Bernabeu has been in some doubt of late with the player now 31 and contracted to Real until the summer of 2018.

Despite Balague claiming Madrid president Florentino Perez wants to offload Ronaldo at the end of the season, the La Liga club's asking price has so far put rival clubs off making an offer for him. Zinedine Zidane recently called Ronaldo the best player in the world, but Real are seemingly happy to offload the Portugal international, according to Balague.

He said “Ronaldo needs to hear that constantly. It's the kind of thing he feeds from. He needs to hear praise from the people working with him. There's another reason. Ronaldo said this week that he plans to stay at Real Madrid for another two years - the remainder of his contract. It seems to be that nobody wants him for the price they'd have to pay for him, so we'll see how that goes because Real Madrid would also like to sell Ronaldo. It's a fascinating crossroads for his career".
