James Rodriguez wants a new contract at Real Madrid.

Despite his lack of games this season, the Colombian feels he warrants a pay-rise.

AS says James wants improved terms at Real Madrid and believes he should be earning as much as Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos: €10M a year.

Currently his salary is amongst the third-tier earners at the club such as Pepe, Kroos, Varane, Modric and Marcelo who take home between 4.5 and 6 million euro net.

James has not yet set any ultimatum, but believes that his salary should reflect the transfer fee paid for him, the fifth highest in history, and his performances on the pitch.
