CRISTIANO RONALDO is unlikely to remain at Real Madrid past next summer if Robert Lewandowski joins the club, according to reports.
Real Madrid want to sign Robert Lewandowski
Ronaldo, 30, is wanted by Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, while the MLS want to sign him to one of their franchises.
The Portugal international is thought to be eyeing a move away from the Bernabeu - possibly in January - after a fall-out with manager Rafael Benitez.
And Spanish newspaper AS claim Real have already drawn up their list of replacements should Ronaldo quit the club.
The French champions are reportedly willing to pay their top target £26m a season after tax, which is roughly double what he currently earns in Spain.
As for Real, they are also considering their options should they lose the services of Karim Benzema, who is currently involved in a court case over a blackmail scandal.
