Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed an extension to his contract with Real Madrid, the La Liga giants have confirmed.
The Portugal forward will appear alongside Real president Florentino Perez at a press conference later today at the Santiago Bernabeu, where details of Ronaldo’s new deal are expected to be announced.
Reports in the Spanish media suggest that the former Manchester United ace has agreed terms on a new three-year extension to his deal, which would commit him to the club until the summer of 2018.It has also been reported that Ronaldo’s salary has been increased to around 17m euros per year.
The 28-year-old had been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu following the arrival of Gareth Bale during the summer transfer window.
The 100m-euro fee Real paid to Tottenham for the Wales winger eclipsed the previous world-record of 94m euros they splashed out to lure Ronaldo away from Manchester United in 2009.
Ronaldo has scored a remarkable 203 goals in 203 appearances for the Spaniards, helping them secure the King’s Cup in 2011 and the La Liga title in the 2011/12 season.
