The News of the World claims that the Premier League champions are willing to offer Ronaldo a £10.4million-a-year contract in order to retain his services and prevent him from joining Real Madrid.
The Portuguese international has repeatedly been linked with a move to the Bernabeu however he remains at Old Trafford and manager Sir Alex Ferguson has always strongly denied he will sell the player.
The tabloid quotes a ‘source’ close to Ronaldo as suggesting he will be happy to stay, explaining, “Cristiano wants to clear his head of the Real Madrid move once and for all. When he agreed to stay at United last summer he thought it would be just for one more year.
“But now he seems to be setting his mind on the long term because he realises he can fulfil all his ambitions at Old Trafford.”
Ronaldo’s current contract at the club still has three years left to run yet under Fifa rules he could buy himself out of his contract at the end of next season
However, the proposed new deal will reportedly keep him at the club until 2014 and also ensure that the Ballon d’Or winner is the highest paid player in the Premier League by some distance.
The new contract would reportedly pay Ronaldo wages of £160,000 a week plus £40,000 for image rights and commercial activities, more than enough to keep him in Ferraris for the foreseeable future.
