Cristiano Ronaldo is leaning towards a Real Madrid departure in June.Marca says president Florentino Perez has decided to undertake a radical plan of action in order that the club's star man remains at the club, extending his deal beyond its current expiry in 2015.

With elections coming up at the end of the season, the potential loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho would be disastrous for Perez' campaign, but Ronaldo's overt unhappiness in Madrid is already undermining his President and his plans for next season.

If the club's attempts to patch things up with the Portuguese fail, then as well as the obvious options of PSG and Anzhi, Ronaldo would be open to a Manchester United return , although financial questions have forced Ferguson to label the player 'unbuyable'.
