Real Madrid announced on their official club website that they have reached an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo for a new contract, which will be valid for another five years. For some time, it was almost certain that the captain of the Portuguese national team would continue his future with the royal club. C. Ronaldo extended his contract until 2018 and became the highest-paid football player in the world. The striker's salary per season can reach 17 million euros. "It is an honor to continue playing in a club like this," the footballer said at a press conference. "I am very happy in Madrid and these past four years have been amazing." "This decision is not about money. I want to contribute to the Real project and win in all competitions with this team. I want to show my love for this club. I also want to thank the fans, the president, the team mates, and the director, because with their help I made the final decision," concluded the Spanish vice-champion. Arriving from "Manchester United" to "Real" in 2009 for a record 94 million, the Portuguese is already compared to legendary Spanish club players. The 28-year-old striker scored as many goals as he played 203 matches for the Madrid team. After this contract expires, C. Ronaldo will be 33 years old and will likely say goodbye to Real forever. C.
