There are numerous record when Cristiano Ronaldo lost his temper on the pitch and behaved arrogantly. But when it comes to off the pitch, only few might be as generous as Ronaldo.
Ronaldo spent his holiday with family in Greece.
Ronaldo left a hefty tip for hotel staff at the resort he was staying in on holiday in Greece. The former Real Madrid superstar swapped Los Blancos for Juventus this summer in a stunning transfer. It cost €100m plus €12m (£11m/$14m) in additional fees.
And before joining up with the Italian side, the prolific Portugal international took a vacation with his family after the World Cup. It would seem the 33-year-old and his partner Georgina were very well taken care of by the staff of the hotel. Afterall, Ronaldo reportedly left a tip worth €20,000 (£18k/$23k).
The Greek Online Sports Magazine, SPORtime claimed:
“The 10 employees, who had been tasked with providing services to Ronaldo’s family and to keep them away from the paparazzi, each received €2,000.”
Ronaldo spent 10 days with his family and friends in The Royal Methoni villa. He was offered round-the-clock butler services along with sand dunes to keep photographers out.
The former Madrid star posted from the idyllic resort on Instagram. He also met with Juve President in Greece prior to finalising his transfer.
After his break, , the Portugal superstar then headed to Italy to undergo a medical and officially be presented as a Juve player. He was greeted by thousands of jubilant supporters of the Italian club.
He then travelled to China as part of a promotional tour. And, he is unlikely to feature for his new team in pre-season. Juventus will face Bayern, Benfica and his former side Real Madrid as part of their International Champions Cup campaign.
