According to Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport, Los Blancos are set to offer the Portuguese star a new contract worth a reported £600,000 per week after tax, well up on the reported £365,000 the 32-year-old currently earns.

The staggering offer would bring Ronaldo’s salary on par with global rivals Neymar and Lionel Messi, two players the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has long campaigned to be treated on equal terms with. Despite the star having four years remaining on his existing contract, Real hope that the new deal will prove their commitment to their most prized asset.

However, even if the lucrative deal does materialise, it may not be enough to convince the Portugal captain to remain with Zinedine Zidane’s side; Cristiano is said to be ‘desperate’ for a move away from Madrid, where his relationship with club president Florentino Perez has considerably soured in recent months. Manchester United and Paris St-Germain remain favourites to sign the forward should he decide his future lies away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Soon after the match, Ronaldo himself spoke to the press that he felt sad, and that the club knew the reason behinds it.

So, what is the reason exactly ? Since the match came later after Andres Iniesta crowned as UEFA best footballer, the press quickly accused him for getting disappointed for not winning the title. But then they find out that the previous meeting between Ronaldo and president Florentino Perez have caused all his problem. And that was when money talks…

Since 2009, Ronaldo pocketed €10 million per year. Minus the 23% tax, he still received €7,7 million. The actual tax income in Spain is 45 %, but since David Beckham’s law, then the 22% rest of the tax are paid by the club. Which means, every year, Real Madrid have to pay €15,5 million for Ronaldo’s salary plus taxes. And to make it worse, in a certain amount of salary, the tax could increase into 52%.

Since Ronaldo wished to renew the contract with Real Madrid (his contract will ends in 2015), he asked for a raise, and that’s when the number of €31,5 million came out. With that kind of money, Ronaldo expected to receive a clean €15 million per year. Unfortunately,  it is doubtedly that the club will pay for that kind of money in a year just for 1 player.

The option for Real Madrid is not to renew the contract with Ronaldo, which mean they only pay for €10 million or €15,5 million plus tax until his contract ends in 2015. The bad part is that in 3 years, Ronaldo can leave the club free of charge. But still,  this way they will save around €45 million, with the asumption of €15 million extra tax per year.

Of course, if Madrid rejects Ronaldo’s offer for a raise, then no wonder that the Portuguese star felt unwanted. However, Ronaldo proved that he is a professional player, and that the personal problem won’t disrupt his performance on the pitch by scoring 2 goals.

The question is, will Real Madrid change their mind and grant Ronaldo’s wish for a raise ? Is he really worth the price ? With all his goals and his achievements for the club, then yes, I think he is worth it. Come on, lets face the fact that Ronaldo is the best player in the world right now, but he only came on the 6th list for the highest paid footballer. Here are the list :

1. Samuel Eto’o                            €20 million

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic              €14,5 million

3. Wayne Rooney                       €12,3 million

4. Didier Drogba                         €12 million

5. Lionel Messi                            €10,5 million

6. Cristiano Ronaldo                €10 million

By the list above, even Ibrahimovic gets bigger money, and he’s no wizard in football, imo…. So, is it wrong for Ronaldo to ask for more money ? Does it mean he’s greedy ? Nope, he’s just asking for the salary that he deserves.

The current financial crisis is a global thing that has made people more conscious about their money spending. Well, one man who should be able to spend a whole lot of money without worrying about his economies is Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester Untied winger will soon benefit of a salary rise in the summer if he indeed decides to remain with the Reds.

This news has undoubtedly provoked intensive debates. After accusations from the public describing Ronaldo as an arrogant footballer, come accusations portraying him as greedy young man.
A majority of people have expressed their anger towards the fact that Ronaldo is considering a rise of payment whereas the financial crisis is an apparent fact in Europe.

On the other hand, some see nothing wrong with it but rather believe that the more you get, the more you want.
In addition to this thought, some simply think that Ronaldo deserves to be the highest ever paid Premiership player for all that he has done in terms of performance and achievement.

Cristiano Ronaldo himself has already tasted poverty. He grew into it as a child in Madeira and had to overcome several family problems, but resilience in life has let him become who he is now.

Perhaps Ronaldo deserves all the wealth he owns, perhaps he is being too greedy and selfish… Whatever it is, itâ€s up to him.

One thing is clear, the fact that Ronaldo could be earning up to 150,000 pounds a week will always be a debate.
