According to the Relevo website, the Ballon d'Or has still not been extended in Madrid. This explains why the option to extend his contract, which ends in June, by one season has not yet been activated.

New contacts have reportedly taken place in recent days. The Frenchman has been wearing the Real shirt since 2009. He played nearly 650 matches for the Madrid club and scored 353 goals. The Spanish press reports on a proposal from Saudi Arabia that would offer him a salary of 200 million euros over two years.
