Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that Real Madrid do not need to sign another striker in the summer transfer window.
Jose Mourinho's side have been linked with a number of forwards this summer, including Santos' Neymar and Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor, but Ronaldo is happy with the club's current attacking options.
"We don’t need to sign another forward. I think we should be happy with the line-up as it already is," Ronaldo said during a press conference, according to ESPN.
Real have already secured the services of Jose Callejon from Espanyol to bolster their attack, but Mourinho isn't satisfied with his options up front just yet, despite Ronaldo's comments, and is still hopeful of luring another forward to Santiago Bernabeu.
Madrid initially seemed to prefer Neymar, but they could turn their attention to Adebayor again following Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro's remarks that the club won't sell Neymar.
Adebayor was on loan at Bernabeu for the second half of last season, scoring eight goals in 22 appearances, and has made known his desire to return to the club. Real are believed to be closely monitoring his situation and could make a bid in the region of €14 million for the striker.
