Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed a new contract, the Spanish giants have announced.
The Portugal international, who had been linked with a return to former club Manchester United, has extended his contract until June 2018.
Spanish media are reporting the 28-year-old will earn an annual salary of 17m euros (£14.25m).
"Manchester United is the past. Real Madrid is now my home," he said in a media conference on Sunday.
"I hope that I'm here until I retire. This is a great club.
"I respect all the clubs who ask about me. But they always know that my decision, that my only goal, is to be here and to play at this club until, maybe, the end of my career."
The new deal comes after the arrival of world-record signing Gareth Bale from Tottenham earlier this month for 100m euros (£85.3m).
Ronaldo, who joined Real from Premier League champions United in 2009 for what was then the highest fee of £80m, has scored 203 goals in as many games for Los Blancos.
His previous contract at the Bernabeu was due to expire in 2015.
"I'll be here five more years. I just want to win trophies for this club," he added.
