Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent form is said to be persuading Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to offer new contract — on his terms
Since the turn of the year, the Ballon d'Or holder has 17 goals in 12 appearances, including 13 in his last seven matches
CRISTIANO RONALDO’S incredible recent form is forcing Real Madrid to offer him a new deal on his terms, according to reports in Spain.
Los Blancos endured a dismal start to the campaign, which saw them fall out of the title race before the end of 2017.
Ronaldo, 33, managed just two La Liga goals in the first four months of the season and rumours began to surface that he was unhappy and ready to leave the club.
However, report his blistering return to form in 2018 is forcing the club to cave and pay him what he has demanded.
Ronaldo currently earns around £540,000-a-week, but wants parity with eternal rival Lionel Messi, who is paid £680,000 every seven days by Barcelona.
Just like last season, he is turning on the style as the campaign comes to its crunch.
With the Spanish title going back to Barcelona and Real Madrid eliminated disappointingly from the Copa del Rey, a third successive Champions League title is now the only trophy left to them.
And Ronaldois making it his personal quest as he has now scored in every single match so far in the competition.

Of course, he knows that victory would likely mean a record-breaking sixth Ballon d’Or award, which is what drives him to success.
Ronaldo rewarded himself for his impressive recent form by taking a short holiday break with partner Georgina Rodriguez in the mountains.
