Cristiano Ronaldo is stepping away from his “dream” £30 million retirement villa, despite the property being designed as the perfect long-term home complete with an infinity pool.
The Portugal captain has been working on the luxury house as part of his plans for life after football, but those plans have now changed and the villa is no longer expected to be his future base.
While Ronaldo is abandoning the idea of settling there, the property may still play a major role in his personal life. It has been revealed that the villa could form part of a lavish wedding celebration with Georgina Rodriguez, should the couple decide to hold their ceremony and events around the home.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez have been together for several years and share a high-profile life away from the pitch. The villa had been seen as a symbol of that long-term future, but it now appears set for a different purpose than retirement.
The change of direction means the £30m project will not be the end point of Ronaldo’s career journey as once expected, even if it remains central to the lifestyle he and Rodriguez have built.
