I won’t sign new Real deal ―Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo denied that he is seeking an improved Real Madrid contract after his side lost 1-3 to Tottenham Hotspur in London during midweek’s Champions League clash.

With Neymar signing a lucrative agreement with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) upon becoming the world’s most expensive signing and Lionel Messi recently extending his own Barcelona deal, reports had suggested that Ronaldo would seek earning parity with the two superstars.

The former Manchester United striker, however, who scored Madrid’s only goal at Wembley in a 3-1 reverse, rubbished claims he was pressuring the Merengue board for a raise.

“I am doing very well at Real Madrid. I have four years left on my contract and I don’t want to renew. I am fine,” the reigning FIFA Footballer of the Year told beIN Sports after the match.

Madrid were a pale shadow of the side that has taken back-to-back Champions Leagues in the last two seasons, and Ronaldo called on his team to return to winning ways.

“It is bad because we are losing and we are used to winning. It is a bad run,” Ronaldo, five-time FIFA best player award winner added.
