Juventus want to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and pay him a huge amount

The Portugal captain, whose side exited to World Cup to Uruguay, is now turning his attention to his club future after the disappointment of his national team's performances in Russia.

While he is the current holder of the Ballon D'Or, his status as the world's best player is not currently reflected in his Real Madrid salary, earning around €10 million less per year that arch-rival Lionel Messi, and feels that he should be offered a contract to become the highest earner in world football.

Despite his incredibly successdul time at the Bernabeu, breaking many records and helping the club to 4 Champions League titles in 5 years, Real Madrid are unhappy to fulfil the player's request after his attempt to grab the spotlight after their last Champions League final against Liverpool earlier in the year. The forward said that he had enjoyed playing for the club, insinuating by his use of the past tense that he could be leaving the Spanish capital.

If 'CR7' does not feel that he can have his financial needs met at 'Los Blancos', Juventus are rumoured to offer the player an alternative that will see his salary rise. According to 'Marca', the Italian champions are willing to offer the player £500,000 per week over a period of four years, meaning he would earn £106 million in salary alone in that time. 

It is unlikely that this deal will go ahead, but with Florentino Perez potentially having lost patience with the man who has been the team's focal point for almost a decade, it is in no way an impossibility.
