Real Madrid are beginning new contract talks with Cristiano Ronaldo.

AS says Real Madrid have told Ronaldo that they plan to review and improve his contract and honour the promise which Florentino Pérez made after the Champions League final in Cardiff.

General Director José Ángel Sánchez has informed Ronaldo of the club's plan to reward him for his efforts with a pay rise.

For now, the details of exactly how much Ronaldo will see his salary increased have not been discussed but the player is believed to view the proposal positively. The idea is to have the new contract in place and signed off before the World Cup finals in Russia.
