Real Madrid are set to underline Cristiano Ronaldo's fading status at the club by making Gareth Bale their highest paid player.
That is according to The Sun, who believe Los Blancos are to reward Bale for becoming the highest-scoring British player in La Liga history by increasing his £300,000-per-week wages.
The news is unlikely to please Ronaldo, who sees himself as the number one galactico at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But the Portuguese has long been linked with a move away from Madrid, and Bale's pay rise highlights how is viewed by club president Florentino Perez and the rest of the club's hierarchy these days.
It will also put off rumours of Bale leaving. Manchester United are reported to be a possible destination but Ed Woodward can wave goodbye to any dreams of signing the Welshman if he signs a new, lucrative deal.
The 26-year-old's season has been mired by injuries but he has scored 43 goals in 76 matches since moving from Tottenham three years ago.
And with his strike against Sevilla on Sunday, the winger broke Gary Lineker's record of 42 goals in 103 games for Barcelona.
