Early Life
Cristiano Ronaldo was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of José Dinis Aveiro , a municipal gardener and his wife Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro , a cook. His second given name “Ronaldo” was chosen after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father’s favourite actor. He has one older brother, Hugo (b. 1975), and two older sisters, Elma (b. 1973) and Liliana Cátia “Katia” ( b. 1977), who is a singer.
When Ronaldo was seven years old, he began playing for Andorinha’s youth squad. For two years, his father worked as the kit man at the club and later asked to take a shot with them too. When Ronaldo turned 12 in 1997, Sporting CP invited him along on trial where they ended up signing him immediately after seeing what he could do! Ronaldo was a popular student, but after he threw a chair at his teacher for disrespecting him, the school decided to expel Ronaldo. However, one year later Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart. This condition could have forced him to give up playing football; however, he had surgery where they used lasers on different pathways in his heart and this altered his resting heart rate. He only stayed at the hospital for hours after the procedure before returning to training days later as if nothing happened!
Career
At the age of 12, Ronaldo began his football career playing for Andorinha from Madeira. In 2001, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP who subsequently signed him for £1,500. He further trained with Sporting’s youth players and played for its junior team as well as competing in the tournaments organised by the Portuguese Football Federation. Ronaldo successfully completed his move to Sporting Lisbon at age 18 in 2002.
Ronaldo played his first pre-season game for Manchester United against Club Brugge, where he scored a hat-trick , which would get him into the starting line up for their opening Premier League fixture against Bolton Wanderers. In his Premiership debut, Ronaldo scored a brace and was given man of the match award as United went on to beat Bolton Wanderers 4-0 at Old Trafford. His first Premier League hat trick followed later in month during a 7-1 trashing United inflicted on Wolves at Molineux Stadium.
On 1 August 2009 it was confirmed that Ronaldo had completed his move to Real Madrid for £80 million (€93.9 million/$131.6 million), making him the most expensive footballer in history at that time. Ronaldo signing for Real Madrid shattered many records such as the world transfer record, highest paid player in football history and also highest fee per pound sterling (€94 million / £80.2 million).
The biggest football news of the summer 2018 was Ronaldo’s shocking transfer from Real Madrid to Italian club Juventus. Despite months of negotiation, on July 10th he signed a four-year contract with his new team for €100 million total and an additional €12 million in “other fees,” which were specifically allocated by FIFA to go back into development programs throughout his youth soccer clubs.
On August 27, 2021 Manchester United announced that they had reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Ronaldo. The transfer was reported as costing $12 million and would be on a two-year contract plus another optional year. Ronaldo will wear the number 7 shirt after Edinson Cavani agreed to switch his own number 21 jersey for it instead.
