Transfer News: Ronaldo demands Real Madrid sell Bale… but doesn’t want Rashford or Kane
CRISTIANO RONALDO has told Florentino Perez he must sell Gareth Bale and sign the next generation’s biggest star for Real Madrid, according to reports.
Bale has struggled with injuries at Real Madrid over the past few seasons and could be on his way out.
Zinedine Zidane decided against selling him to Manchester United in the summer but a move at the end of the campaign appears almost inevitable.
And Ronaldo has supposedly instigated Bale’s exit by ordering Real president Perez to get working on transfers.
According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, Ronaldo has had enough of Bale’s injury woes and wants a new forward brought into the side.
Ronaldo only wants the very best to play alongside him and that has sparked suggestions Real could plunder the Premier League to secure a new forward.

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and Tottenham star Harry Kane have both been mooted as viable targets, as has Juventus ace Paulo Dybala.
But Don Balon claim Real will not move for any of these options because Ronaldo wants someone else.
They claim the Portugal international in fact wants Perez and Zidane to sign Paris Saint-Germain gem Goncalo Guedes.
Guedes, 20, is currently on loan at Valencia for the season and has scored just three goals so far.

Tottenham fans bash Gareth Bale in cheeky chant
The Portuguese joined PSG from Benfica back in January but laboured to get game time in Paris.
Ronaldo is said to be hopeful about the prospect of playing alongside Guedes, even though English options Kane and Rashford are more established European players.
Ronaldo and Guedes share the same agent in Jorge Mendes.
