Cristiano Ronaldo set to spend €21 million on luxurious home to settle down in after the end of his career: Reports

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly set his sights on a retirement home in his home country of Portugal, worth a whopping €21 million.

Situated in Quinta da Marinha, Cascais, just 20 km from Lisbon, the luxurious villa is being designed for the Portuguese star and his family. But due to the global pandemic, the war in Ukraine and inflation, the construction cost has risen from an initial €12 million to €21 million, according to an exclusive report by LOOK.

Despite the significant increase in cost, Ronaldo is reportedly willing to pay whatever is necessary for his abode to be completed for his post-retirement days.

Boasting a floor area of more than 3000 square metres, the thoughtfully designed house is built on one hectare of urbanized land. It will contain a spacious garage for more than 20 cars, one indoor and one outdoor swimming pool and one gym. It will also have a tennis court and a host of resplendent rooms, and the villa is set to be quite the opulent address for the Manchester United striker.

Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement home is set to be completed in the summer of 2023 although further delays are still expected.

Personally supervising the work from time to time, Cristiano Ronaldo has been periodically travelling to Portugal to ensure the quality of his retirement home. From the best Italian marble to solid gold taps to a smart heating system to even an exclusive Louis Vuitton mural, the luxurious details of the house are simply unmatched.

Additionally, Ronaldo has delegated the decoration of his new villa to his wife, Georgina Rodriguez, and his trusted decorator and friend, Paula Brito. The latter has decorated all the previous houses of the five-time UEFA Champions League winner.

As per a December 2021 report by Marca, Ronaldo currently owns eight other homes in various parts of the world. Some of them include a three-bedroom apartment in Trump Tower in Mahnattan, the most expensive apartment in Lisbon worth €7 million and a seven-story apartment block in Funchal, Madeira. He also owns a luxurious mansion in Marbella, Spain.

After a trophyless season with Manchester United, Ronaldo shined for his nation in the UEFA Nations League group stage matches. He scored two goals in Portugal's 4-0 victory over Switzerland earlier this month.
