It comes as no surprise that worldwide soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo is prepared to say goodbye to his home in the affluent English community of Alderley Edge, which is only 15 miles from his old playing field at Old Trafford. Ronaldo departed Manchester United almost ten years ago.
According to listing records, Mr. Ronaldo, a forward for the Italian team Juventus, advertised the five-bedroom, three-story brick mansion on Monday for £3.25 million (US$4.1 million).
If the property sells for the asking price, the Portuguese footballer will suffer a £600,000 loss. According to a title record submitted to the Land Registry in 2007, Mr. Ronaldo, 33, paid £3.895 million for the home over ten years ago.
Pictures of the home show Mr. Ronaldo’s unexpectedly Gothic taste in furniture. The sparse furnishings that are still in the home are nearly all made of black, including a luxurious charcoal-gray couch, black cowhide rugs, and sheer black drapes. Other than that, the house has pretty classic features like large windows, light stone-tile floors, and hardwood.
Images of the home, which is listed with nearby real estate firm Benson Bunch, show several opulent features, including a pool, and a roomy kitchen with white and black lacquer (the colors of Juventus’s squad), a steam room, a movie theatre, and a gym. When contacted for comment, the brokerage did not respond.
A huge master suite with two adjacent bathrooms and a walk-in closet is among the three en-suite bedrooms in total.
The Portuguese football player has advertised his former English home twice. According to a previous ad for the residence, the property first went on the market in 2013 for £3.75 million. It was unable to reach Mr. Ronaldo, who departed Manchester United in 2009, for comment.
