Real Madrid are “thinking twice” about selling star man Cristiano Ronaldo this summer and may offer the forward a new deal, according to Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague. Madrid have been trying to find a buyer for the Portugal international, whose contract at the Bernabeu runs until the end of June 2018.Ronaldo, 31, has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and his agent, Jorge Mendes, has an agreement in place for his client to join the Ligue 1 champions next season, according to Balague. However, Real are believed to be having second thoughts about offloading a player who has just finished the season with 50 goals in all competitions for the sixth campaign in a row. Cristiano Ronaldos current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu runs until the end of June 2018 And Los Blancos could opt to hand Ronaldo a contract extension.There is a situation in the transfer market, Balague told Revista Bitesizes 2015/16 season review.Man City have to renew their squad, Man Utd have to renew their squad, Chelsea have to renew their squad, Barcelona have to make changes, Real Madrid have to bring in new blood.And theres not enough players. Theres money, but not enough players. All of a sudden, they may probably think twice about getting rid of Cristiano.There is [Robert] Lewandowski, who they could replace him with, but who else is there out there?Nobody out there has risen to that level that you think they will be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo soon. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is one of the few players who could replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid next season Real have gone from putting a price for Ronaldo to now thinking that there is no clear replacement in the market.Cristiano has been thinking all season this is his last at Madrid and even his house was put up for rent. As a consequence of the lack of alternatives in the market, Real might offer Ronaldo a new contract.Sky Sports Spanish football expert Terry Gibson, meanwhile, believes it is vital Madrid keep Ronaldo at the Bernabeu next season after his impressive campaign in front of goal. Watch the best goals from Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo this season Gibson, though, also recognises it is a tricky choice for Real to make given the Portugueses age and desire now to play solely as a frontman.No player should be allowed to leave a club if he is scoring over 50 goals a season, said Gibson.The issue for [Real head coach Zinedine] Zidane is where you play him, if you build a team around him.I hate to say it, but he is now just a goalscorer. He is now almost a full centre forward. I think its important they keep him, but I do understand the business perspective of it. Hes in his 30s now, there is probably one last chance to get another club on his CV for a massive transfer fee. Thats the huge decision for Real Madrid. Terry Gibson Hes in his 30s now, there is probably one last chance to get another club on his CV for a massive transfer fee. Thats the huge decision for Real Madrid.They are running out of time if they want to achieve a big transfer fee for him, but at the same time they will be looking around thinking hes got 50 goals again.Its a big decision for Real. There arent many about where Real can just get the money for Ronaldo and replace him. Also See: Balague: Could Real sell Ronaldo? Ronaldo to PSG?

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolinas quarterback situation remains unsettled after two games.Senior Perry Orth started the Gamecocks first two contests at Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. However, after trailing the Bulldogs 24-0 at the half, freshman Brandon McIlwain who took over in the second half and rallied the Gamecocks to two touchdowns in a 27-14 loss.Look for McIlwain to get even more playing time when South Carolina opens its home season against fired-up East Carolina, fresh off a victory over North Carolina State last week.Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said his offensive staff has a pretty good idea wholl start against the Pirates, but like before the Vanderbilt game, will keep things under wraps until game time.Both are repping at the position, Muschamp said Tuesday.Theres no divide on the team about the quarterbacks, tailback A.J. Turner said, although each brings a different skillset to the position.The second half we played with a faster tempo and I feel like we do better when we play faster, Turner said. I think thats what Brandon McIlwain brings to the table.McIlwain was a highly regarded high-school passer who had offers to play from Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and UCLA among others. He was also a prized baseball prospect, who was tracking to be a high-round pick in the Major League Baseball draft last June before deciding to sign with the Gamecocks.Muschamp and quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper spent all spring and summer trying to whittle down a wide-open quarterback race. Orth had the experience after starting eight games last year while McIlwain and fellow freshman Jake Bentley are clearly South Carolinas future at the position.Orths experience won out early and he rallied South Carolina from 10-0 down at Vanderbilt in Week 1 for a 13-10 victory. Orth was less effective at Mississippi State, going 9 of 17 for 83 yards and an interception inn the first two quarters as the Gamecocks fell behind 24-0.dddddddddddd.Orth got little help, however, from South Carolinas offensive line or its running backs. Orth was sacked twice and the Gamecocks finished 34 yards on the ground.Muschamp said the more playing time McIlwain receives, the quicker hell adjust to the college game.The game will continue to slow down for these guys and theyll improve, Muschamp said.Turner, also a freshman, sounded like he had a preference at quarterback. Turner said McIlwain brings a greater sense of urgency on offense, something he believes can only help improve the unit. Hes not turning against Orth, who he believes is a talented leader instrumental to the Gamecocks lone victory so far.East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery is prepping for Orths throwing and McIlwains ability to cause chaos to defenses with his dual-threat nature.All in all, it presents a tough challenge, Montgomery said.Even for South Carolina. Muschamp has several times if he had a player separate himself from the others at quarterback, that would be his starter. So far, that hasnt happened.Part of the problem is the opening half where the Gamecocks have zero points through two games.South Carolina offensive lineman Mason Zandi does not understand the slow starts -- or why the offense heats up after that.I cant pinpoint what worked for us in the second half, Zandi said. We just went to locker room, made some adjustments and moved on.Muschamp said the slow starts are on the coaches, who havent put players in position to excel early on. Felt like it was our execution, he said.The first-year coach hopes the right quarterback will get things going a bit faster on Saturday.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
