Cristiano Ronaldo could be priced out of a move from Real Madrid, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.

The former Manchester United forward’s future in Madrid has been in doubt despite continually reiterating his desire to see out his deal, which runs until the summer of 2018, in the Spanish capital.
"I want to stay here for two more years, and then we'll see about the future," said Ronaldo. "That's the contract that I've got.”
However, despite claiming Madrid president Florentino Perez wants to offload Ronaldo at the end of the season, Balague revealed the club's asking price could put would-be suitors off.
“Ronaldo said this week that he plans to stay at Real Madrid for another two years - the remainder of his contract.
"What's interesting is why he's said that when he's been looking at the possibility of leaving.
"It seems to be that nobody wants him for the price they'd have to pay for him, so we'll see how that goes because Real Madrid would also like to sell Ronaldo.”
