Cristiano, who currently earns 21m euros a year at Real, feels badly treated by the club over Pérez's broken promise, and his unhappiness over the situation has merely been exacerbated by the 45m-euro wage handed to Lionel Messi by Barcelona in November, and the 37m-euro salary that Neymar now pockets at Paris Saint-Germain following his world-record move to France last August.

Portugal skipper wants to earn 30m euros a year at Juventus and Cristiano has began to make arrangements to leave the Bernabéu following Real Madrid's Champions League win in Ukraine, meeting with Juventus to propose a summer switch and asking for 30m euros a year to go to the Allianz Stadium. Since then, the Bianconeri have been looking for a way to make the deal a reality.
