Ronaldo tells Real Madrid: Sign four stars and sell this player to upset Messi

Christiano Ronaldo is reportedly helping Real Madrid with their summer transfer plans.

Real Madrid will look to strengthen their team in the summer with Zinedine Zidane expected to splash the cash when the transfer window opens.

Real chief Florentino Perez is understood to be seeking advice from Ronaldo over which players the club need to sign and where they can improve.

And according to Spanish publication Diario Gol, Ronaldo wants Monaco’s Bernardo Silva to move to the Bernabeu.

The report suggests the Portuguese star has given his approval to Borussia Dortmund duo Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as well as Juventus striker Paulo Dybala and Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe.

While Ronaldo is hoping the club can sign one of those four stars, he also understands the need for a new goalkeeper.

With Keylor Navas failing to live up to expectations, Manchester United’s David De Gea and Chelsea shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois are under consideration.

The final area Ronaldo feels Real need to improve is at the back with Sergio Ramos in need of a new partner at centre-back.

With a host of fresh talent expected to arrive in the summer Zidane will have to free up some space in his squad.

And Ronaldo controversially wants Karim Benzema to be shown the door.

Reports in Spain suggest the attacker isn’t keen on Benzema’s high status at the club and is jealous of the way Barcelona’s stars supposedly play for Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo wants the same treatment and in order to neutralise Messi’s impact he believes Benzema leaving would catapult him to new heights at the Bernabeu.
