Real Madridย has a dilemma on their hands, and his name is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Money talks, and in the case of selling Cristiano Ronaldo, there is plenty to go around.

According to โ€œThe Sun,โ€ Manchester City wants Ronaldo bad, even willing to pay a cool ยฃ150 million for the talent.

Real Madrid would be losing a phenomenal player, but the money gained would be nothing to sneeze at.

Depth at Wings

Real Madrid is already well stocked with wingers, and while Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the best in the world, there is enough depth for Real Madrid to deaden the impact of losing him.ย 

Ronaldo's Main Focus Is to Score

Nobody likes a ball hog, except when that ball hog is Cristiano Ronaldo there is nothing like him.

A fantastic dribbler, Ronaldo is one of the most exciting players to watch, and one of the most determined to score.

While this is a good trait to have, Real Madrid needs a team player that looks beyond personal achievement and gets the job done without relying on crazy dribbling antics.ย
