The Portuguese ace knows that Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will leave the club, and he's urged Los Blancos to sign these replacements.

Real Madrid's season might not be over yet, but a massive overhaul is expected by most experts. With Cristiano Ronaldo still being a key element for Los Blancos' plans, the Portuguese ace is set to configure the team's attack with the players he feels could benefit his skills.

According to Sky Sports' Guillem Balague, the Portuguese ace has suggested Real Madrid's hierarchy to pursue two key signings: Robert Lewandowski and Eden Hazard. Both players are interested in joining the team, and at some degree, both of them are forcing their way out of their current contracts, which could facilitate things for Los Blancos.

"Real Madrid needs money to sign Lewandowski, Hazard and Courtois, those are their choices and they need funds to complete their signings. Bale's transfer would provide the necessary funds for any of those moves to take place, Balague stated.

One more transfer target linked to the Spanish giants was Harry Kane. Unfortunately for the English ace, CR7 has apparently vetoed his signing, since he feels his skills will not make a difference. Cristiano would choose Lewandowski over Kane due to the Polish ace's ability to move all around the attack.

Balague was in charge of writing Cristiano Ronaldo's biography, and has enjoyed access to CR7's inner circle for quite some time.
