Cristiano Ronaldo's ambition to become the world's best paid footballer

   Cristiano Ronaldo's ambition to become the world's best paid footballer is causing a growing rift with Real Madrid that has opened the door to  Europe's big-spending clubs. He has already declared before that "he is not happy at Madrid, and it's a professional reason.Russian-owned Chelsea, along with Arab-backed Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, head the list of interested parties as the 27-year-old agitates for a huge pay rise to bring him into line with high earner Samuel Eto'o.

Main reason Why so??

1) Ronaldo's salary at Real Madrid sees him 10th in the high earners' list at £7.98 million net, around half what Eto'o earns at rich Russian club Anzhi, behind the likes of Messi, Rooney,Torres, Ibrahimovic etc.His immediate target is a 50 per cent increase to around £11.8 million net. 

2) It is further complicated by Ronaldo's dissatisfaction at his image rights - 50 per cent of which are owned by the club - and Spain's revised tax laws

3)Before Ronaldo is governed by 'Beckham's Law', the regulation which stipulates Real must pay 24 per cent tax. But with Spain's economy in turmoil, that figure has been increased to 52 per cent.
