Cristiano Ronaldo wants new contract at Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he is hoping to sign a new deal at Real Madrid after telling other potential suitors to “forget” about making a bid this summer.
Los Blancos’ all-time leading goalscorer has continually been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu in recent times, with Paris Saint-Germain and former clubManchester United among those reportedly interested in his services.
Ronaldo, who has often remained coy over his future in the past, has now openly admitted that he plans to remain in place at Madrid for the long term because no other side in the world can match the lure of the La Liga giants.
“Real Madrid would be making a smart decision if they offered me a new contract,” he told Spanish television programme La Sexta. “I want to stay here, there have been good moments and bad moments.
“Four years ago I wasn’t happy here, but now I am and I can’t think of a better club to be at than Real Madrid, there’s no team like it. The other clubs can forget it. I’ve had good moments, and bad ones. That’s life.
Despite claiming that he was unhappy at the club in 2012, Ronaldo penned a contract extension the following year that runs through until 2018.
