Real make Ronaldo the world´s highest-paid player

Real Madrid have officially signed Cristiano Ronaldo on a six-year deal worth 93 million euros, the Spanish giants announced Friday.

Former Manchester United forward Ronaldo is set to earn 13 million euros a year with Real, thus becoming the world’s highest-paid footballer.

A statement on the official website of Real Madrid said: “Real Madrid CF and Manchester United have signed the definitive agreement for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish club on 1 July.

“The player will stay at Real Madrid for six seasons.”

Ronaldo’s deal will see him move ahead of current soccer salary king, Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who currently earns 12 million euros a year.

Ronaldo, 24, had been on around 7.5 million euros a year at Old Trafford.

Portuguese international Ronaldo will officially become a Real player on July 1 and is set to be unveiled by the nine-times European champions on Monday July 6.
