CRISTIANO RONALDO wants to see Real Madrid make a move for Andre Silva in the January transfer window, according to reports.
Real have struggled to defend their La Liga crown this season, falling eight points behind Barcelona after just 15 games.
But more worrying for Real is that the goals have seemingly dried up from their front line.
Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale have scored just eight goals between them in the league so far.
And that has led to speculation over a new forward coming into the Bernabeu.
Harry Kane has been linked with an audacious move while Mauro Icardi has recently popped up as a potential target.
But Diario Gol claim Ronaldo doesn’t want the Inter Milan striker to come to the Spanish capital.
Instead, he has reportedly given his club a different target to go for – Andre Silva.
Ronaldo knows Silva from his time with the Portugal national team, where the 22-year-old has a tremendous record with 11 goals in 18 games.
The Portuguese duo also share the same agent, Jorge Mendes, who is also a good friend of Florentino Perez.
AC Milan have so far been struggling in the league and are currently outside of the European qualifying places.
The report claims Silva would be available at a much cheaper price than Icardi.
