CHRISTIANO Ronaldo has expressed dismay at the preparedness of Real Madrid to sign either Eden Hazard of Chelsea or Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid. His fears , mainly, are that either would steal his limelight. Ronaldo has therefore threatened to quit Real if they sign Hazard or Griezmann. The player's influence at the club simply means that Ronaldo's threats are taken seriously. Nonetheless, the club are beginning to plan for the future in view of their ageing stars. Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric are all in their thirties.
