Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time with his peak coming at Real Madrid. However, before joining the Los Blancos in 2009, Ronaldo had already won the Ballon d’Or at Manchester United. He moved to England from Sporting Lisbon as a young teenager and became the best player in the world in just a few years. Currently playing for Manchester United again, Ronaldo has regressed a bit at the age of 37. However, he was still the club’s top scorer and was only behind Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-Min on the Premier League top scorer list. As a result, the Reds would love to have him stay at the club as they try and pick up the pieces of last season. CRISTIANO RONALDO IS MOVING TO SPORTING LISBON? Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes knows that and played with Ronaldo with Portugal as well. Speaking in an interview, Fernandes revealed that he hopes that Ronaldo goes back to Sporting after his contract with United expires. Fernandes joined United from Sporting Lisbon, a similar path to Ronaldo’s. He added that fans of the club wouldn’t want anything more. “It would be a great moment for Sporting fans, almost everyone expects that. He has the ambition to continue playing for many years, we will see what he decides — I hope — when his contract with United ends. But the ambition and dream of Sporting fans would be to see Ronaldo playing for Sporting,” Fernandes said [https://www.espn.in/football/blog-transfer-talk/story/4692521/live-transfer-talk-dortmund-seek-120m-for-jude-bellingham-amid-man-utdliverpoolreal-madrid-interest]. BRUNO FERNANDES EXPECTS RONALDO TO SHOW UP TO TRAINING However, the midfielder did add that Ronaldo would stay at Manchester United. The club would hate to lose Ronaldo to any rival club, and Fernandes revealed that he expects the superstar to show up to training on July 4th. “I expect to meet him on July 4 to train there, I’m not expecting anything more but each one takes care of their future. I don’t believe that the club is willing to lose an asset like Cristiano,” he added. It’ll be interesting to see where Ronaldo’s future lies, and if he ever makes the move to Sporting Lisbon.

Bruno Fernandes is one of the star players in the Premier League right now. Playing as an attacking midfielder for a PL giant like Manchester United, Fernandes is one of the most important players in the ‘Red Devils’ lineup.

Starting off with Italian outfit Novara, Fernandes’ talent was at full display. While many clubs wanted to sweep in for the young midfielder, Udinese ultimately won the race. After four mediocre seasons in Italy it seemed like the Portuguese might not make it to a top club.

[caption id="attachment_756542" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-756542" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-07T123257Z_42713163_SP1EH870YURYC_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-FRIENDLY-MUN-EVE.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1283" /> Soccer Football - Pre Season Friendly - Manchester United v Everton - Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain - August 7, 2021 Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes Action Images via Reuters/Lee Smith[/caption]

But all of it changed in 2017 when Fernandes returned to Portugal and joined Sporting Lisbon FC. This decision completely changed the 26-year-old’s career as it unlocked his full potential.

<strong>Bruno Fernandes’ Net Worth and Salary</strong>

Bruno Fernandes is set to earn a total salary of <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/bruno-fernandes-47294/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">€9.36 million</a> per year with United, with a weekly wage salary quoted at €180, 000. This has certainly been a steal for United who have multiple players with a higher wage than the Portuguese midfielder.

If Fernandes can continue to excel as a cornerstone for United, expect to see some astronomical wages soon for the 26-year-old. Currently is net worth is still only €9 million, but given how Fernandes’ career progression, this number is likely to shoot up as well.
<h3><strong>On-pitch </strong>Achievements</h3>
Starting off his career back in Italy with Novarra, Fernandes always showed flashes of his class in the Italian top flight. But his contribution were never consistent thus resulting in criticisms for the Portuguese midfielder.

After failing to make his mark in the Serie A, Fernandes was shipped out to Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese giants truly brought the best out of the attacking midfielder. In the 2017-18 season coming up with 19 goal contributions in 33 games, Fernandes showed his talents as an attacking midfielder.

[caption id="attachment_735488" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-735488 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-14T133343Z_273988814_UP1EH8E11O58J_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND-MUN-LEE-REPORT-1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1275" /> Soccer Football - Premier League - Manchester United v Leeds United - Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain - August 14, 2021 Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes celebrates his hat-trick with the match ball after the match REUTERS/Phil Noble[/caption]

In the very first season, he helped Sporting win the Portuguese League Cup. He turned it up a notch in the 2018-19 season, contributing to 33 goals in 33 games, an incredible mark for a midfielder. A league cup soon followed and Fernandes was rightly crowned as the Footballer of the year in LIGA NOS.

Manchester United started to take notice of the midfielder’s exploits. While they failed to land him in the summer transfer window, United wasted no time to secure Fernandes’ services. Given Fernandes’ rather mediocre stint in Italy, many doubted whether he could survive in perhaps the hardest league in the world.

But Fernandes made an instant impact for the ‘Red Devils.’ Chipping in with 15 goal contributions in 14 appearances, Bruno certainly made a mark and was even awarded the player of the year trophy for the 2019-20 season.

He carried on this incredible form in the 2020-21 season as well as he had 30 goal contributions. With a loaded squad featuring names like Cristiano Ronaldo, it won’t be surprising if Fernandes’ assists rate shoots up. With a formidable side, Fernandes and United will hope that they can win their first piece of silverware this season.
<h3>Bruno Fernandes’ Endorsements</h3>
Bruno Fernandes as of now is being endorsed by that of Nike. The sportswear giant who have had a knack of keeping hold of talented players, certainly envision the next Portuguese star in Fernandes.

The 26-year-old also has custom Vapor 14s boots for his matches. Given that he is yet to reach his peak, expect a steady rise in the number of endorsements Bruno ends up with in a year or two.

<h3><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h3>
Fernandes certainly has immense respect for his roots and this was evident during the pandemic. When Portuguese club Aves, were unable to pay wages to players and the coach during the pandemic, it was Fernandes who stepped up and <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bruno-fernandes-manchester-united-aves-18641613">offered</a> his help to the club.

The Portuguese midfielder even returned to Porto during the pandemic and helped in distributing food and hygiene supplies to locals. Joining forces with the charity Futebol Para A Vida (Football for life) which emphasized in helping lower league footballers.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo: </strong><strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his 'greatest of all time' status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d'Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand.

While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a>, and Juventus.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo's 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark.

The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo's early life and his family</strong></h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo was born to JosÃ© Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo, and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star.

Ronaldo only completed his schooling upto the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-181688575 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-181688575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Manchester-United.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP's youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career</h2>
Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. In September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club's widely accepted golden era.

Ronaldo's tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of â‚¬94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time.

Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo's second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7's foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo's achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal's national team</h2>
Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.

</figcaption></figure>
Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups. He has the peculiar record of being the oldest player to score at a FIFA World Cup. He also holds the record for scoring against the most national teams, throughout his career.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's club career and various achievements</h2>
Ronaldo has played for quite a few clubs throughout his career, namely Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. At the club level, the 38-year-old has won the Champions League five times. He has also won three Premier League titles, two La Liga titles, and two Serie A titles.

At club soccer, the mighty Ronaldo has scored 710 goals and 203 assists in 959 appearances. He is the all-time top scorer in Real Madrid history with 450 goals. At Manchester United, Ronaldo scored a total of 145 goals. At Juventus, he scored 81 goals. Currently, the soccer veteran is making a name for himself at Al-Nassr after scoring 30 goals in 36 games already including two hattricks.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">All the off-field awards claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo</h2>
Keeping in mind his long-lasting legacy, Ronaldo has won the prestigious Ballon d'Or five times. He has won the trophy in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. Apart from that, he has won the best FIFA Men's Player of the Year on two occasions in 2016 and 2017. He was the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.

He has won the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2015. Ronaldo won the Premier League Player of the Season in 2007 and 2008. Similarly, he won La Liga's best player award after the 2013-14 season. Serie A crowned the soccer veteran the Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020. Additionally, he won the Premier League Golden Boot for his prime 2007-08 season at Manchester United. As he entered a new chapter of his career with Al-Nassr, Ronaldo cemented another milestone by taking home the Maradona Award for Best Goal Scorer owing to his 54 goals throughout the year.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend and kids</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo met his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. The two of them met at a Gucci store. At that time, Georgina was a salesgirl at a Gucci store in Madrid. Seemingly, there was a spark between the two of them immediately. They then met again at a Dolce and Gabbana event, a few days later. The rest was history.

The next year, they announced the birth of their baby daughter, Alana. Several years later, the celebrity couple announced that they were expecting twins. However, one of them tragically passed away shortly after birth. In <em>I Am Georgina</em>: Season Two, Georgina described that time as the worst moment of her life.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-665263784 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-665263784" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0202849919h.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---31819-figcap">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Prior to meeting Rodriguez, the soccer veteran already had three children. The first one of them is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. He was born on June 17, 2010, in America. The mighty Ronaldo has still kept the mother's identity a mystery after gaining full custody of his child.

In 2017, Ronaldo fathered twins in the United States via a surrogate mother with the twins reportedly named, Eva and Matteo. In 2017, he had his first child with Georgina Rodriguez, a girl named Alana Martina. Later in 2021, the couple announced they were pregnant with twins. However, Ronaldo and Rodriguez bore the pain of losing a child while also welcoming another in 2022, a girl named Bella.

As of now, the Portuguese soccer legend has not announced anything regarding marriage. Once, during a conversation with Piers Morgan, he mentioned that he wasn't thinking about it. Technically, Ronaldo is breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. In the territory, it was illegal to live under the same roof if not married.

However, reports then suggested that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have turned a blind eye in this case, despite him being a top Al-Nassr player considering Cristiano Ronaldo is a foreigner.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Cristiano Ronaldo's foundations and charity</h2>
Cristiano Ronaldo supports the likes of UNICEF, Save the Children, AIDS Still Required, World Vision, and Cahonas Scotland among others. His most famous act of donation was when he raised $83,000 from his soccer boots and jersey for the operation of a 10-month-old baby.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo: Career, Achievements, Net Worth in 2024, and Personal Life Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly one of the greatest players of all time. While the debate regarding his &#8216;greatest of all time&#8217; status will seemingly never come to an end, the fact that the Portuguese soccer legend has won the Ballon d&#8217;Or five times during his career gives him quite the upper hand. While starting his career at his boyhood club, Sporting CP, the soccer veteran is currently making a difference in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr. Between Sporting CP and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo established a healthy and long-lasting legacy at Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s net worth 2024 Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be around $500 million. The mighty Portuguese soccer legend is currently earning a jaw-dropping wage at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo is reportedly cashing out $74 million per season as just his base salary. His earnings will potentially rise to $207 million when commercial deals, image rights, and ambassadorial roles are kept in mind. This added to the fact that Forbes named Cristiano Ronaldo as the first active team sport athlete to surpass $1 Billion in career earnings back in 2022 is a sign that Ronaldo&#8217;s 2024 net worth might just exceed the $500 Million mark. The most prominent investment that drives his net worth upward is in the chain of hotels. The soccer veteran has been on board with the Pestana Group while building hotels in Madrid, Lisbon, New York, Marrakesh, and Funchal. Apart from that, he has an ever-famous lifetime deal running with Nike. Cristiano Ronaldo has also endorsed brands like Herbalife, MTG, Clear, Garena Free Fire, Louis Vuitton, Live Score, TAG Heuer, and many more. Apart from that, he also drives forward his personal brand that caters to the fitness and clothing market. Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s early life and his family Cristiano Ronaldo was born to JosÃ© Dinis Aveiro and Maria Dolores dos Santos. He is their youngest child. He grew up in a catholic home sharing a single room with all his siblings. Ronaldo has one elder brother, Hugo, and two older sisters. His eldest sister, Elma, describes herself on Instagram as a digital influencer. Apart from that, the two of them still share a very healthy and strong bond with the soccer star. Ronaldo only completed his schooling upto the sixth grade. At the age of 14, he was seemingly hard-destined towards soccer as a career. Unfortunately, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was just 15. After undergoing successful surgery for his tachycardia, he quickly recovered in order to live his dream.  via Imago Ronaldo played his first bits of soccer for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. He then moved to an area near Lisbon and ended up joining Sporting CP&#8217;s youth academy. The 6ft 1in striker originally started off on the ring wing. His ability to be able to handle the ball with both feet still mesmerizes opponents to date. Cristiano Ronaldo and his mighty football career Within a few years of joining Sporting CP, Ronaldo quickly rose up the youth ranks. In September 2002, he made his debut for Sporting in the Primeira Liga against Braga. Sir Alex Ferguson was thoroughly impressed by the raw Portuguese talent and signed him in 2003 for Manchester United. During his time at Manchester United, he won three Premier League Titles from 2006 to 2009, subsequently aligning with the club&#8217;s widely accepted golden era. Ronaldo&#8217;s tenure at Manchester United was decorated with many goal-scoring records. However, his most acclaimed feat was when he scored 42 goals in the 2007-2008 season and secured a place on the best wingers in football history list. However, that was all for Ronaldo and Manchester United. The star player moved on to Real Madrid in 2009 with a transfer fee of â‚¬94,000,000 ($103,061,586.97). The greatest at that time. Barring a short span at Juventus F.C, Ronaldo circled back to Manchester United. However, his homecoming to the United could not reap the same fruits as his debut. Ronaldo&#8217;s second stint at United was met with a mutual contract termination in November 2022. This would make way for the CR7&#8217;s foray into Al Nassr FC. Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has scored his second hat trick for the club and 34 goals in the Saudi Pro League. While his club career is a marvel in its own right, Ronaldo&#8217;s achievements as the captain of the Portugal national team are not far behind. The Portuguese Forward won his first cup with Portugal in 2016 in the Euro Cup and then later in the 2018-19 National League Tournament. All other success Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved with Portugal&#8217;s national team Despite just a single piece of silverware at the Euros in 2016, Ronaldo has scored 128 goals in 205 appearances for his country. However, he has achieved quite a few personal milestones while playing for Portugal. He has scored the most international goals in soccer history and is the leading goal scorer in EURO and well, world history. In 2017, he scored 37 goals for his national side, the most by any player for his country.  via Imago Recently, he became the only player to score at five consecutive FIFA World Cups.

Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s girlfriend and kids Cristiano Ronaldo met his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. The two of them met at a Gucci store. At that time, Georgina was a salesgirl at a Gucci store in Madrid. Seemingly, there was a spark between the two of them immediately. They then met again at a Dolce and Gabbana event, a few days later. The rest was history. The next year, they announced the birth of their baby daughter, Alana. Several years later, the celebrity couple announced that they were expecting twins. However, one of them tragically passed away shortly after birth. In I Am Georgina: Season Two, Georgina described that time as the worst moment of her life.  via Imago Prior to meeting Rodriguez, the soccer veteran already had three children. The first one of them is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. He was born on June 17, 2010, in America. The mighty Ronaldo has still kept the mother&#8217;s identity a mystery after gaining full custody of his child. In 2017, Ronaldo fathered twins in the United States via a surrogate mother with the twins reportedly named, Eva and Matteo. In 2017, he had his first child with Georgina Rodriguez, a girl named Alana Martina. Later in 2021, the couple announced they were pregnant with twins. However, Ronaldo and Rodriguez bore the pain of losing a child while also welcoming another in 2022, a girl named Bella. As of now, the Portuguese soccer legend has not announced anything regarding marriage. Once, during a conversation with Piers Morgan, he mentioned that he wasn&#8217;t thinking about it. Technically, Ronaldo is breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. In the territory, it was illegal to live under the same roof if not married. However, reports then suggested that the authorities in Saudi Arabia have turned a blind eye in this case, despite him being a top Al-Nassr player considering Cristiano Ronaldo is a foreigner.
