Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo feels they need to make a major defensive signing in January.

Rather than focus on Real's lack of goals this season, Diario Gol says Ronaldo wants to see an experienced centre-half added next month.

His top choice is AC Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci - and has relayed this to president Florentino Perez via agent Jorge Mendes, says Diario Gol.

However, with Bonucci having only left Juventus for Milan last summer, a deal is unlikely given FIFA red tape.

The latest injury setback for Raphael Varane has only added to Ronaldo's concern, as he pushes Perez to find a new centre-half signing.
