- Real Madrid star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is demanding the Spanish giants pay him 'one Euro' more than Lionel Messi

- Messi recently signed a new contract at the Nou Camp that will see him collect a staggering 40m Euros per season (N17.7bn)

- Ronaldo is asking for 40m and an additional one Euros-a-year before he signs on the dotted line at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is demanding the Spanish giants pay him 'one Euro' more than Lionel Messi before he can pen his signature to a new deal at the club.

Reports originating from Spain suggest the Portuguese international wants his new contract to reflect his status as the best player in the world - and that means earning above the money Messi gets at Barcelona.

Messi recently signed a new contract at the Nou Camp that will see him collect a staggering 40m Euros per season (N17.7bn).

Los Blancos have opened negotiations with the Ronaldo managers about improving the terms of his existing deal which runs until the summer of 2021.

And Spanish media, Mundo Deportivo claim Ronaldo is asking for 40m and an additional one Euros-a-year before he signs on the dotted line at the Bernabeu.

Ronaldo currently earns 30m Euros (N13.3bn) annually by Real, which puts him third on the list of the biggest superstars in world football.

Messi's new deal puts him just ahead of the 36.4m Euros-a-year Neymar is on at Paris Saint-Germain.

The report believes that Ronaldo is looking to be recognised as the biggest name in the game by getting Real to agree to the token of one Euro above Messi's deal.

Ex-Manchester United star Ronaldo believes he is the best attacker on the planet, and is citing the fact he was awarded the Fifa Best accolade last year.

His ability to find the back of the net shows no sign of letting up, having scored an amazing 21 goals in his last 11 matches for the club.

And his camp believe the club should recognise the stellar career he has had since making the move to La Liga nine years ago.

He has scored over 300 league goals for the club since then, and Ronaldo is also said to feel his global fame helps bring millions into the commercial coffers of the club.

Ronaldo is currently training with the Portugal squad preparing to face Egypt tonight March 23, where Mo Salah is hoping to show why he is now being regarded as one of the top players in the worldwww.youtube.com
