Jose Maria Gutierrez, better known as Guti, did not mince his words when analysing Real Madrid's current transfer window.

He also took aim at the current situation at Barcelona and spoke about the possible signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Atletico Madrid.

"I think Real Madrid are as good as last year, though it's true that they haven't strengthened their squad much," he said, speaking with DAZN.

"Maybe they do need another striker, as they also lacked one last year.

"Any absence of Karim Benzema can be terminal for Real Madrid and not having a replacement limits their ability to score goals."

On Barcelona's past and current situation, the former footballer commented on the importance of the signings being brought in by the board.

"We saw a lacklustre Barcelona last year and I think this is going to give much more value to LaLiga," he said.

"Everything that reinforces big teams, and teams that are important in Spain like Barcelona, is good for the league."

Guti on CR7's possible arrival at Atletico

Guti even gave the thumbs up to the possible arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Atletico Madrid.

"If he decides to come to Atletico Madrid, why not?" he said.

"It's a great team, he's a great striker. Atletico Madrid need a good striker and why not? I think it would be a good pairing.

"It would be strange, because Real Madrid love him a lot. But, I don't think Real Madrid fans would mind.

"I think that everything that Ronaldo had to give to Real Madrid he has already given.

"If he feels happy to be able to play for a great team like Atletico Madrid, why not?"
