On February 5, the 39-year-old striker took a rare day off to spend time with family and friends in Saudi Arabia.
“Thank you all for your birthday wishes. “It’s so happy to be with family and friends,” Cristiano Ronaldo addressed his supporters on his personal page.
Ronaldo’s birthday party was attended by close pals Ricardo Refuge and Fabio Ferreira, as well as his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and son Ronaldo Junior.
Refuge (third from right) is the individual who directly negotiated Ronaldo’s record annual wage of over 200 million euros in Saudi Arabia. Before then, Ronaldo delegated complete decision-making authority to another friend, Jorge Mendes.
To commemorate his 38th birthday, Ronaldo got messages from his past clubs, including Real Madrid, Juventus, Sporting CP, and Manchester United.
CR7 presented supporters with a special gift from Sporting. Before Ronaldo left for Saudi Arabia, his home club, Jose Alvalade, sought to recruit the 1985-born star but lacked the necessary funds. Ronaldo’s birthdate is five.
