In Portugal’s capital, the priciest flat ever sold.
Portugal no longer has a genuine royal family. The 1930s saw the end of this practice.
But it goes without saying that Cristiano Ronaldo, the man behind one of the country’s greatest sporting eras, is nearly a monarch in the Iberian nation.
As a result, it seems sense that he would purchase what is said to be the most sought-after piece of real estate in the Portuguese capital, which is exactly what he apparently did.
According to reports, the legendary footballer and Juventus hero bought this lovely home in Lisbon’s Avenida da Liberdade area, not far from where he was raised. Here, with a view of the historic center of Lisbon, Ronaldo honed his skills and caught the eye of the city’s mightiest club, Sporting Lisbon—his first professional team.
In addition to owning properties in Portugal and Spain, Ronaldo has kept a residence in his own nation for many years. This year, he also bought a multimillion-dollar vacation home in Marbella.
This flat in Lisbon could serve as the player’s future home if his playing career comes to an end and he decides to spend more time in the city where he grew up. Ronaldo had owned a villa in the Geres district of northern Portugal, but he was forced to sell it because it turned into a popular destination for soccer fans. Pepe, a member of his Portugal national team, is the current owner.
The expensive residence ever sold in the bustling Portuguese metropolis is the apartment he has purchased to replace his previous one.
And it is simple to see why. It is a large penthouse apartment with three bedrooms, a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a spa that is close to the picturesque Eduardo VII Park. It contrasts the city’s historic architecture with an interior made of marbles, stones, and woods, capitalizing on the spectacular views of Lisbon’s alluring old city.
One of the Manhattan apartments that was featured in the HBO series Succession is now up for sale. Watch our interview with the Nike designer who created Cristiano Ronaldo’s footwear.
