At 37, Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the best footballers on the planet and his club Manchester United pays him accordingly. Returning to the club that made him famous after a few years in Italy, the Portuguese is having a blast again in England, despite the mixed results for his club. The return of the idol from Old Trafford had a price and if the transfer did not cost too much, the salary of the star is quite astronomical since it emerges at more than 31 million euros per year. Become over the years one of the richest sportsmen of the planet, the companion of Georgina Rodriguez has multiplied the investments by buying in particular several real estates.
Among these, there was until recently a sublime apartment located in the heart of New York, in the famous Trump Tower, in Manhattan. An extremely luxurious property, on the very chic Fifth Avenue and which is no less than 762 m2. For more than three years, Cristiano Ronaldo has been trying to sell him and he has finally succeeded, except that the financial transaction carried out is catastrophic for the teammate of Varane and Pogba in Manchester. When he acquired the apartment in 2015, the father of four children, spends the astronomical sum of 18.5 million dollarsbut in 6 years, the price has dropped enormously.
More than 10 million euros loss!
As the Spanish media Expansion tells us, the buyer had to pay the sum of 7.18 million dollars, which makes a net loss of over $11 million. After conversion, Cristiano Ronaldo therefore lost some 10 million euros in the transaction! A huge sum that can be explained by several factors. According to the Spanish publication, the covid crisis has pushed New Yorkers out of the cities, which has greatly increased the number of properties available in the city centre. The location of the apartment in the famous trump tower didn’t seem to help either. The negative image of the former American president really does nothing to enhance the value of the goods with which his name is associated.
A very heavy loss for the footballer, who awaits the arrival of two twins shortly. Despite this, we should not worry too much about the Portuguese, who still remains one of the richest athletes on the planet.
