Real Madrid news: Cristiano Ronaldo demands three signings as Perez works on deals
CRISTIANO RONALDO has called on Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to sign THREE players he has identified in January, according to reports.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo supposedly wants three signings in January
Real Madrid are labouring in La Liga and are expected to spend money in the New Year.
Manager Zinedine Zidane has already confirmed the club will not sell anyone in the transfer window.
But the boss is open to new arrivals and president Perez is working on deals.
Express Sport understands one deal being discussed is a move for Chelsea defender David Luiz.
But Ronaldo supposedly has different ideas.
According to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Ronaldo has asked Perez to consider three players.
Marquinhos is supposedly on Ronaldo's wish list
Two - Marquinhos and Goncalo Guedes - are from PSG, where Real are said to be keen on landing Neymar.
And the third - Kepa Arrizabalaga - is tipped as the next big goalkeeper in Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Marquinhos was linked with a move to Real back in the summer of 2016 but no deal ever materialised.
Guedes, meanwhile, has been linked with Real with some regularity in recent weeks.
Experts discuss if Marquinhos will head to Manchester United this summer

But Arrizabalaga is being seen as a cheap acquisition and an alternative to Real’s top two goalkeeper targets: Manchester United star David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois of Chelsea.
Diario Gol claim president Perez has listened to Ronaldo’s requests but that doesn’t mean he will drop his interest in other options.
Leonardo Bonucci, Aymeric Laporte, and Luiz are all under consideration, as well as Atletico Madrid centre-back Lucas Hernandez.
