Real Madrid hero Christian Karembeu can see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving this summer.

Karembeu is aware of the talk of Ronaldo pushing to leave Real - and says it could happen.

He told AS: "He has a contract to respect. But, if a club is ready to pay a lot of money for him, it's also a good thing for Real!

"Each season, Cristiano improves the records in the Liga and in the Champions League. He's a crack, a pure talent."

The Frenchman added: "I think we always need Karim, Cristiano, Bale ... Everyone, because they won together, although the final decision is with Zizou. Nothing else."
