Portugal’s 37-year-old superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to find a chef to serve him and his family at his so-called nursing home currently under construction in Quinta da Marinha in Portugal. Mirror (UK) made such a funny comment in today’s news (January 19).
However, Ronaldo “suffers failure in his plan to build a life after football” when no one has yet met his requirements. The Portugal captain completed a massive remittance to Saudi Arabia last month.
CR7 signed a world record 2.5-year contract with Al-Nassr and received a salary of 173 million pounds/year. Ronaldo left Manchester United after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan and is now trying to settle down in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo is currently staying in a luxury room of the Four Seasons hotel at Kingdom Tower (central Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). However, Ronaldo is starting to hunt for a home in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo booked the hotel for a month with the final bill expected to be around £250,000 by the time he checked out. It remains to be seen when Ronaldo will find his permanent residence in Saudi Arabia but his post-retirement life plans are in jeopardy in his native Portugal.
