Ronaldo tells Real Madrid president Perez: Forget Dybala. Sign my Portugal teammate!

Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to lobby Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to bring Portugal teammate Andre Silva to Spain.

The Porto striker is under consideration at Real as they seek a new attacking signing this summer.

Perez's prime focus is Juventus striker Paulo Dybala. However, with his new contract watertight, a deal for the Argentine is unlikely.

Instead, Ronaldo is pushing Perez to go for Silva.

Indeed, the Real star has told Perez he believes Silva would be the better option - and has assured that he'd personally work with the striker to eventually succeed him.
