Real Madrid are “thinking twice” about selling star man Cristiano Ronaldo this summer and may offer the forward a new deal, according to Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague. Madrid have been trying to find a buyer for the Portugal international, whose contract at the Bernabeu runs until the end of June 2018.Ronaldo, 31, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and his agent, Jorge Mendes, has an agreement in place for his client to join the Ligue 1 champions next season, according to Balague. However, Real are believed to be having second thoughts about offloading a player who has just finished the season with 50 goals in all competitions for the sixth campaign in a row. Cristiano Ronaldos current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu runs until the end of June 2018 And Los Blancos could opt to hand Ronaldo a contract extension.There is a situation in the transfer market, Balague told Revista Bitesizes 2015/16 season review.Man City have to renew their squad, Man Utd have to renew their squad, Chelsea have to renew their squad, Barcelona have to make changes, Real Madrid have to bring in new blood.And theres not enough players. Theres money, but not enough players. All of a sudden, they may probably think twice about getting rid of Cristiano.There is [Robert] Lewandowski, who they could replace him with, but who else is there out there?Nobody out there has risen to that level that you think they will be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo soon. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is one of the few players who could replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid next season Real have gone from putting a price for Ronaldo to now thinking that there is no clear replacement in the market.Cristiano has been thinking all season this is his last at Madrid and even his house was put up for rent. As a consequence of the lack of alternatives in the market, Real might offer Ronaldo a new contract.Sky Sports Spanish football expert Terry Gibson, meanwhile, believes it is vital Madrid keep Ronaldo at the Bernabeu next season after his impressive campaign in front of goal. Watch the best goals from Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo this season Gibson, though, also recognises it is a tricky choice for Real to make given the Portugueses age and desire now to play solely as a frontman.No player should be allowed to leave a club if he is scoring over 50 goals a season, said Gibson.The issue for [Real head coach Zinedine] Zidane is where you play him, if you build a team around him.I hate to say it, but he is now just a goalscorer. He is now almost a full centre forward. I think its important they keep him, but I do understand the business perspective of it. Hes in his 30s now, there is probably one last chance to get another club on his CV for a massive transfer fee. Thats the huge decision for Real Madrid.
