Cristiano Ronaldo signs new five-year Real Madrid contract

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new contract at Real Madrid keeping him at the Spanish club until 2021.

The Portuguese forward joins Gareth Bale in signing a new deal at the club. Last month Bale became Real’s best-paid player with a £150m six-year deal.

No details of Ronaldo’s contract were released but the club said the “official event” for the renewal would take place on Monday.

“The official event for the renewal of Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract will take place tomorrow, Monday 7 November at 1:30pm in the presidential box at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium,” said Real in a statement. “The Portuguese forward will extend his contract until 30 June 2021 at the event attended by club president Florentino Pérez and the player himself.”
