Although Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer on the planet, his salary isn’t in the top 50 of highest paid athletes. Furthermore, his salary is only a few million higher than the highest paid hockey player, and although we love hockey, there is a limited global appeal to the sport.

Is Crisitiano Ronaldo’s alleged discontent at Manchester due to the fact that although he has been the best football player for the last couple of years, he earns less than players with 1/10 the talent? When footballers like Andriy Shevchenko earn more per year, what message is Manchester United sending Cristiano Ronaldo?

Cristiano Ronaldo is not only one of the best football players this year, but in our opinion, the best ever. Manchester United should be telling the world that they are willing to make him the highest paid footballer ever.

Madrid, on the other hand, have said that they believe he’s the best and are willing to pay him handsomely.

We want Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at Manchester, but we also think it’s time for Manchester to rally behind Cristiano and pay him what he’s worth. Otherwise, Cristiano Ronaldo may be on his way to warmer climes.

Cristiano Ronaldo7.com has done it again. We have just translated one of the most interesting Cristiano Ronaldo Videos that you’ll ever see. The video is entirely in Portuguese, but we translated for everyone to enjoy.

This new television special on the Portuguese International, Cristiano Ronaldo was filmed recently by Portuguese television, (SIC) at Cristiano’s new house in England.

You will see Cristiano as you’ve never seen him before.

The video below shows Cristiano Ronaldo dribbling the ball on the street and into an outdoor basketball court. He demonstrates that he can play basketball as well.

enjoy!

Although she comes from a conservative background, her reputation for being a bit of a party girl is well known, she is frequently spotted at the local night-clubs.

Much has been speculated about her modeling career, but the word is that she does not have much work, although that will surely change now that she’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s girl. Although we have not posted them here, the nude modeling pictures are an indication that her conservative roots are but a distant memory.

The word is she is very pleasant, even impressing Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister Katia, who said: “I like her – but the most important thing is that he likes her.”

Lastly, we must ask the question. Is she a gold-digger looking for a celebrity to propagate her fledgling modeling career? or a genuine family girl looking to settle down or somewhere in between? or is it any of our business?

You be the judge.
