Robinho believes that he is in a stronger position to negotiate a new contract at Real Madrid with the Cristiano Ronaldo deal looking more unlikely and is demanding a huge pay rise.

Madrid president, Ramón Calderón, is keen to keep Robinho and has put forward a five-year package worth around €4m-per-season, but that is nowhere near the player's demands.
Instead, the 24-year-old is asking for €5.2m after being informed that is that amount that Chelsea were prepared to pay him to join them in the past few weeks.
Robinho's optimistic outlook at the Bernabéu has been dented by the continuous delays in talks with the club over a new deal and his mood worsened when he was said to be included in one proposed package for Ronaldo.
Chelsea's interest and Madrid's failure to give an outright rejection to that also made him think twice and has now made him dig his heels in at the negotiating table.
"I think Robinho appears to be a bit sadder at the moment," Iker Casillas confirmed. "He is not in a bad way, but it is true that he does not have his usual character."
With the move for Ronaldo now looking more unlikely, Madrid may be forced to raise their salary offer in order for Robinho to settle down once more.
