Cristiano Ronaldo's future will dictate Real Madrid's transfer policy
Cristiano Ronaldo SCOLDS camera operator for filming him
Speculation is ramping up about a potential blockbuster move away from the Bernabeu for Ronaldo in the next transfer window.
He was reportedly eager to turn his back on the Spanish giants last summer after being accused of tax evasion by the authorities.
Ronaldo indicated he was willing to return to England in the middle of his court case but he remained with Real Madrid.
However, the 33-year-old has struggled in front of goal this season, hitting the back of the net just eight times in 17 appearances.
A massive shake up is expected at the Bernabeu ahead of the next campaign and revamping the attack is high on president Florentino Perez’s priority list.

Real Madrid are keen on Liverpool's Mohamed Salah
According to Spanish publication Don Balon, Perez has identified three potential arrivals - Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, Chelsea ace Eden Hazard and Paulo Dybala of Juventus.
But their ability to fit the team’s formation will dictate which player is targeted.
Strengthening the right wing is the priority so Salah and Dybala have emerged as Perez’s preferred options.
But the potential departure of Ronaldo would lead Real Madrid to look for a new left winger.
