The Portuguese superstar is in advanced negotiations
over a five-year contract that will be the most lucrative in the history
of football ever. Cristiano
Ronaldo is close to agreeing a new contract with Real Madrid which will
make him the world's highest-earning footballer,
Madrid
are in advanced talks with Ronaldo's representatives over a deal
totalling around €155 million over five years, with the Portuguese
forward set to earn €15m annually after tax in what will be the most
lucrative contract in the history of the game.
Ronaldo, who has
scored 201 goals in just 199 games in his four seasons at the Santiago
Bernabeu, raised alarm bells on Thursday when he posted a cryptic
message on Twitter which read simply: "All the news about my renewal
with Real Madrid are false." Days earlier, however, he revealed his
intention to remain at the Spanish side beyond his current contract,
which expires in 2015.
After Portugal's 1-0 win over Russia in a
World Cup qualifier last week, Ronaldo said: "I haven't spoken to anyone
yet, [but] I know we will reach an agreement on a new contract. The
most important thing now is the national team." And he also claimed his
future has nothing to do with the departure of coach Jose Mourinho. "I
am not worried by what Mourinho does; I am concerned with Real Madrid
and my future," he said in May. The pair's relationship, once excellent,
deteriorated in recent months following an angry dispute over a
tactical correction made by Mourinho in a game against Valencia in
January.
