Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has told super agent Jorge Mendes that Cristiano Ronaldo needs an attitude adjustment.

Ronaldo is enduring his worst goalscoring start to a season in his time with Real Madrid.

And his body language for victory over Espanyol left Perez unimpressed. His lack of celebration for Isco's goals and the shaking of his head at the end of the game as if Real had lost has upset Perez.

Mendes is in regular contact with the president as he pushes to open new contract talks, but Don Balon says the reply this week will be for Ronaldo to change his manner and attitude.

Indeed, given the form of Isco and the emergence of Marcos Asensio, the warning is no-one's place is guaranteed.
