According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the Portugal international is angry with the club’s offer to extend his contract, which he views as a veiled hint for him to quit.

Madrid’s management has offered the forward a contract whereby he could earn 25 million euros ($29.5 million) a year, while Ronaldo has insisted on a yearly salary of 30 million euros ($35.4 million).
