The most expensive house in Portugal for Cristiano?
According to Marca, the Manchester United player and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have bought a villa in the Cascais region of Portugal. But not just any villa. The site states that it is the most expensive in the country, but that it is currently under construction and would have cost, again in supposition, nearly $11 million to buy, and nearly $10 million in work afterwards.
But while neither the footballer nor the model has yet confirmed this real estate design, Marca reports some details of the future home. The villa would measure nearly '2,720 square metres' and would be on 'three floors'. It would have all the comforts of a footballer's life, including gardens and a swimming pool. Rumours of this unusual purchase were already circulating on social media a few months ago.
Cristiano Ronaldo back in Portugal?
The star of the Portuguese national team, ready for the World Cup in Qatar, could leave the Red Devils of Manchester United sooner than expected after his turbulent start to the season. A return to Sporting Portugal is likely but it is far from the only possibility for the star!
