Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo demands €72M salary to stay

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is demanding a huge pay-rise to stay.

Going into their triumphant Champions League final, Ronaldo confessed to senior teammates his intention to leave Real this summer.

Sport says the Portuguese is prepared to stay - but only if Real president Florentino Perez agrees to his new contract terms.

Currently on a salary of €42m, Ronaldo is demanding €72m and a deal extended to 2023 to remain with Real.

With PSG monitoring developments, Ronaldo is confident he has options to leave Madrid should Perez refuse his terms.
