Real Madrid will reportedly not pursue the signing of Edinson Cavani on Cristiano Ronaldo's orders.
Ronaldo had allegedly told club chiefs that he wants to continue working with Karim Benzema, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury, in the front line.
According to Diario Gol , Real were considering swooping for Cavani in January following his recent disagreements with Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldo enjoys his partnership with Benzema and the Portuguese winger also reportedly blocked a move for Robert Lewandowski for the same reasons.
Cavani was on the scoresheet for PSG in their win over Bayern Munich during midweek.
