In 2015, Cristiano Ronaldo bought an apartment in New York’s Trump Tower for $ 18.5 million. In the meantime he wants to get rid of this loft, but has to reckon with a loss of millions.
From a sporting point of view, Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolute winner, but now the Portuguese superstar will probably have to take a huge loss.
Ronaldo wants to get rid of his New York loft
As the “New York Post” reported, the five-time world footballer bought a 230 square meter apartment in New York in 2015 in Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. At that time, Ronaldo turned over an impressive 18.5 million US dollars (around 15.3 million euros) for it.
The purchase fueled rumors that Ronaldo, who was still playing for Real Madrid at the time, could switch to the American Major League Soccer (MLS) after his contract ended in 2018.
The rumor did not come true. Although the Portuguese left the Madrilenians in 2018, he did not move to the US league, but signed up for Serie A club Juventus Turin.

This could perhaps also have been the reason that Ronaldo wanted to sell his New York loft again in 2019. He called for a sales price of nine million US dollars (around 7.42 million euros), but he did not find a buyer at the time.

Now Ronaldo has reduced this amount again and the luxurious condominium with a view of Central Park could now change hands for 7.75 million US dollars (around 6.4 million euros).
Should a buyer be found for this sum, this would mean a financial loss of 10.75 million US dollars (around 8.9 million euros) for the Portuguese world star.
Assets are estimated at 430 million euros
Quite a chunk of money for ordinary consumers, but Cristiano Ronaldo should be able to get over this excess business. The current fortune of the footballer is estimated at 430 million euros.
