Real Madrid's top summer priority is to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports from Spain. Madrid papers Marca and AS are both full of the news that the Manchester United winger is top of sport director Predrag Mijatovic's shopping list. The Portuguese ace has been in red-hot form in recent weeks, and has netted 13 times this season to fire United's title bid.
While AC Milan's Brazilian ace Kaka is still admired by many at Real, Ronaldo is now their number one target. AS claims that there has already been informal contact between Real and the player, and that Ronaldo is well aware of their interest.
Signing the Portugal star would finally fill the void left when Luis Figo left the Bernabeu. Wednesday's reports say Real would like to add a central defender to their ranks in the summer, but the main priority is to land two top-class forwards.
Ronaldo has also been linked with their bitter rivals Barcelona, with the player's agent saying he offered the player to the Catalan giants last season.
