According to Marca, the Real Madrid legend has purchased a luxurious hotel in Monte Carlo for an eye-watering £105m – but it’s his business parter that will have many fans wincing.

The Spanish newspaper claims that none other than POTUS-hopeful and all-round bad egg Donald Trump is one of Ronaldo’s co-investors in the property acquisition.

It’s not the first time that the unlikely pair have entered into real-estate business together, with the Portuguese previously purchasing an apartment in Trump Towers for $18.5m.

Expect Lionel Messi to be cozying up with the Clintons any day now.
