Cristiano Ronaldo has recommended Renato Sanches to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
The Bayern Munich midfielder has been made available this summer after a difficult first season in Germany.
Jorge Mendes handles both Ronaldo and Renato, which has seen the former take on a mentoring role to his young Portugal teammate.
Don Balon says Ronaldo has urged Perez to consider a move for the midfielder, who is also interesting Manchester United.
Ronaldo would like to have Renato close to him, particularly with allies Pepe, James Rodriguez and Fabio Coentrao all leaving Real this summer.
Perez hasn't rejected the prospect, though knows any move for the midfielder would mean another player sale.
