Cristiano Ronaldo’s unusual dietary restrictions made it difficult for him to hire a personal chef in the past.

On Monday, Ronaldo turned 39 years old, but his incredible fitness makes the number seem like a minor.

Though he had already established himself as a phenomenal player throughout his youth with Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner truly blossomed into a world-class athlete upon joining Real Madrid in 2009.

The Al-Nassr player is clearly committed to staying in top shape even when he retires, despite the fact that he is now approaching retirement age.

Ronaldo obviously plans to eat properly for the rest of his life if he wants to achieve this goal.

A “forever home” was constructed by the Portugal captain for his family on land that he bought in Quinta da Marinha, Portugal, in September 2021.

He reportedly offered a salary of £4,500 per month to a personal chef early last year, but he was unable to locate anyone who met his requirements; he wаnted the chef to work for him and his family in the £17 million estate for the foreseeable future.

According to Portuguese media, Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez demanded that the chef focus on Portuguese cuisine in addition to sushi and other international delicacies.ư

Ronaldo may or may not have filled the role; it was tough to find a high-quality chef with such a diverse skill set.

Ronaldo has not yet indicated that he will end his remarkable career in 2025, when his contract with Al-Nassr expires, despite the fact that he will be 40 years old.

But he officially ended his career in Europe last summer. “The door is completely closed; I will not return to European football,” he declared. I’m 38 years old, and the standard of European football has dropped significantly. The Premier League is the only league that matters; the others are completely behind.
