Real Madrid assured Ronaldo last month of new pay-rise
Posted Monday, May 28, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo had been assured of a pay-rise last month, it has been revealed.
AS says in April, the LaLiga giants informed him of their intention to improve his contract and, in the process, fulfil the promise of a pay rise made by the club's president, Florentino Pérez, after the 2017 Champions League final.
The 33-year-old had previously gone as far as to tell several of his team-mates that he would not be at Real next season, but after that initial contact between Los Blancos' general manager, José Ángel Sánchez, and the footballer's agent, Jorge Mendes, it seemed he had abandoned any thoughts of departing the Bernabéu.
His advisers let it be known that he felt positive about the moves made by the club over his contract. The plan was for talks to resume once Real's Champions League campaign was over.
Ronaldo's post-match words on Saturday, therefore, were unexpected and offered renewed evidence of the tensions that have existed between the player and the club's hierarchy.
