“We want to make Ronaldo the best paid player in the world” – Real Madrid presiden

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, has declared that the club is ready to make Cristiano Ronaldo the best paid player in the world, in a bid to keep the Portuguese superstar.

The former Manchester United forward, has been linked with a return to Old Trafford and Paris Saint-Germain, but Perez doesn’t want Ronaldo to leave along with compatriot Jose Mourinho this summer.

“I would like Cristiano Ronaldo to be the best-paid player in the world. We’re going to do everything at our hand to make him happy,” he said.

Ronaldo has scored 146 times in 135 appearances, since he moved to Spain in 2009.

Speaking about Mourinho’s departure, Perez insisted that despite all the speculation, there was no dressing room unrest.

“The players only had good words about Mourinho. They told me that he was the best,” he said.

“We don’t know who will be the new coach. We will talk about that during the next week. But we want Zinedine Zidane to be the leader of the project.”
