Cristiano Ronaldo wants to buy Ilha da Barreta, also known as Deserta, in the municipality of Faro, and the deal is very close to being completed. The Portuguese international player “fell in love” with the island, when visited her in 2009 and, since then, it has negotiated its purchase with the State. The goal is to build a mansion, where you can live, «with tranquility», with the Aveiro family and their son, after “hanging up your boots”.
A close friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, who lives in the Algarve, assured the Sul Informação that the choice of Ilha Deserta to build your mansion is related to the tranquility you will have and the proximity to the airport of Faro, where your new private jet will be installed, purchased late last year.
After several obstacles in the acquisition of the island, not least because it is in a protected area, the new government of António Costa unblocked the process, because it saw in the sale an opportunity to increase the State's revenues. The transaction is valued at around 100 million euros, according to the same source.
This amount should not be an obstacle for CR7, which, in 2015, will have earned more than half of this amount (54 million), according to with a study carried out by “France Football”.
«Cristiano [Ronaldo] wants to make Ilha Deserta his new home and has already found out which are the best schools to put Cristianinho to study and he just has to choose which club in the Algarve where he will put him to play in the youth ranks» , guarantees the friend.
The “Best in the World” is also thinking of investing in the Algarve in the real estate sector, in the same way as Luís Figo, and the move to Ilha Deserta «will allow him to stay close to his future business», adds the source.
Our newspaper also found that Cristiano Ronaldo's proposal for Ilha Deserta was not the first to reach the Portuguese Government. In 2010, Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich will have offered 200 million euros, but the executive led by José Sócrates did not accept the proposal.
