REVEALED: Ronaldo blocked THREE star Real Madrid signings - including Zlatan

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has blocked no less than THREE star signings this summer, it has been revealed.

Ronaldo, while unhappy with delays over new contract talks, still retains a major influence on Real president Florentino Perez's transfer policy.

Don Balon says throughout this transfer window, Ronaldo has been quick to get on the phone to Florentino to voice his opinion on players offered to Real.

Ronaldo is the chief influence blocking Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard from joining Real, insisting the Belgian was not needed given the emergence of Marco Asensio.

The Portuguese also was dead against Florentino moving for Monaco superkid Kylian Mbappe, adamant Real's current attack did not require a shake up.

And he also warned against the addition of Zlatan Ibrahimovic before the Swede re-signed for Manchester United. Ronaldo had concerns over Ibrahimovic's ego and what it would mean for the dressing room dynamic.
