Real Madrid: 5 big names that are available on the transfer market

CRISTIANO RONALDO – JUVENTUS

Cristiano Ronaldo has been tipped to leave Juventus this summer transfer window. The 36-year-old is in the final year of his contract and is not expected to renew terms. Juventus are currently facing adverse financial struggles which have made it difficult for them to keep hold of Ronaldo due to his 31 million euro annual wages.

With that being said, Ronaldo is available on the transfer market and could possibly depart Juventus after three seasons. At the age of 36, Cristiano Ronaldo still continues to fire at all cylinders and would be a perfect short term solution for Los Blancos to curb their goal-scoring issues.

Sudhir Salvi has even written an in-depth article on the pros and cons of resigning the Portuguese international. While there are certainly some disadvantages when it comes to re-signing Ronaldo, the positives of resigning the forward outweigh the negatives which make him an ideal target for the summer.

However, Ronaldo is certainly not a priority signing for Real Madrid. The club is focused on signing Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain this summer and is working towards achieving the objective. However, if Madrid fails to sign Mbappe, then they might look into short term solutions such as Lewandowski or Ronaldo to sort out the attack.
