Despite kitting the house out to his own design and taste, Portuguese media outlet V+ Fama<\/a> claim that Ronaldo \u201ccould host his wedding to Georgina Rodriguez at the property – in what would be another shock twist – before offloading it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo is said to be \u201cconcerned over the lack of privacy afforded to him\u201d on the so-called \u2018Portuguese Riviera\u2019. The 40-year-old forward, who is currently plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr, has sought to buy adjoining land that is owned by The Ovitavos five-star hotel and a golf course. Those efforts have been knocked back.<\/p>\n

CR7 is now \u201clooking to abandon the four-year project\u201d. He could, however, look to tie the knot with Georgina<\/a> there. It was reported that they would walk down the aisle at Funchal Cathedral, with their reception taking place at a nearby hotel.<\/p>\n

According to V+ Fama, Ronaldo is open to the idea of using his new villa as a \u201cmore intimate and private venue\u201d. If that approach is to be taken, then the mansion could serve as a \u201cwedding event, a housewarming, and farewell party all at the same time\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo is not short of options when it comes to retirement homes, with his property empire<\/a> including a \u00a36m ($8m) penthouse in Lisbon<\/a> and a house in his native Madeira. He also boasts a mansion in Madrid from his time at Real and a luxury abode in Turin that was acquired during his days in Serie A at Juventus.<\/p>\n
