Real Madrid still have Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid They'll see him in a month

There are no plans to sell Cristiano Ronaldo and, in fact, Real Madrid are waiting for him to return to the club ready to work under the orders of Julen Lopetegui.

Once Portugal were eliminated from the World Cup, Ronaldo started his month of holidays, but is expected to join the group in the United States.

The first game in the USA is on August 1 against Manchester United.

Once the player himself hinted that he could leave the club immediately after the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26, Real sent him an offer that improved his current contract, but they've still not received an answer.

Madrid hope that Ronaldo will finally accept an improvement in his salary although the proposal that has been sent to him seems insufficient at this point.

In any event, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, they are also sticking rigidly to the current contract, with a release clause of 1,000 million euros, that has been maintained since he signed his first contract in 2009.

In the best place

Los Blancos are convinced that the best place for Ronaldo is with them.

With the club where he has made history and managed his best scoring numbers.

They're also clear that they're not going to give away their star player and that he can't afford to leave.

There isn't anywhere he can go which will be an improvement on his current club, and furthermore, Real have, and are, making a monumental effort to show that they value him and that he is their main man.

That there are no alternatives in the market.

One of them would be Neymar of course, but his recruitment seems very complicated since Paris Saint-Germain don't want to negotiate.
