However, the report insists Los Blancos have no intention of agreeing to these demands, especially for a player who would be 36 when the deal comes to its end.
Currently, Ronaldo earns £350,000-a-week, with Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar pocketing £619,000 and Messi raking in £673,000 at Barcelona.
The former Manchester United winger wants a higher salary, given he has won Ballon d'Or titles in back-to-back years — and for it to reflect the current football landscape.
Furthermore, he faces having to pay up to £17m to the Spanish treasury, having been accused of tax fraud — and Ronaldo wants more protection from his club as well as financial aid to cover the cost.
