Cristiano Ronaldo agrees new Real Madrid deal


Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed a contract extension with Real Madrid, the La Liga club said on Sunday.

Real did not provide details but said the 2008 World Player of the Year and the club president Florentino Pérez would appear at a ceremony at the Bernabéu stadium later on Sunday.

Spanish media reported Ronaldo's new deal extends his contract by three years to 2018 and lifts his net annual salary to €17m (£14.24m). The deal would appear to end Manchester United fans' hopes that Ronaldo may return to Old Trafford in the future.

Ronaldo joined Real from Manchester United in 2009 for what was then a world record fee of €94m.

The 28-year-old has scored 203 goals in 203 official games for the Spanish giants, helping them to a La Liga title in the 2011-12 season and a King's Cup triumph in 2011 but falling short in the Champions League. He scored on Saturday night in the draw against Villarreal.

Real broke the transfer record again this month when they signed Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for €100m. The Wales winger made his debut in the match against Villarreal.
