ESPN FC reported that the 31-year-old superstar Ronaldo made a deal that was slated to run until the year 2018, which he spoke regarding the extension between his agent Jorge Mendes and Blancos Chief Florentino Perez. The Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score for the five games but he insisted during the interview that he could still see himself scoring until he is 40.
The Portuguese superstar will extend his contract until June 30, 2021, at the event attended by club president Florentino Pérez and the Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo player himself.
According to Goal, Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo will remain as the highest paid player in Real Madrid Football Club. However, details are said to have yet be finalized. Although the duration could be changed before it will be signed, it could be early as Monday.
However, some critics believed that the extension of Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo is not beneficial to the team since he is turning 32 and it is such a long-term contract. This is not something that happens often in any sport, especially when the player is with a history of injury and performed badly in recent years.
But some sources in Real Madrid Football Club are certain that the deal includes a pay raise to make sure Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo remains as Bernabeu's highest paid player. This could mean that the club is now in the burden for a gross salary of over €200 million for the course of his contract.
Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo's accomplishment in the 178th La Liga game includes him becoming the fastest player to score over 200 goals. He is the only player in the history of football to score over 50 goals in a single season for six consecutive occasions. Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo also guided Los Blancos to an 11th Champions League crown last season before winning Euro 2016 with Portugal. He has scored seven goals in 11 games in all competitions this season.
