Cristiano Ronaldo’s private jet touched down at Madeira International Airport – Cristiano Ronaldo late this afternoon, marking the football star’s return to his home island just a day before his 41st birthday.
The Gulfstream G650, valued at approximately €70 million, arrived around 18:30. While the arrival suggests a birthday celebration tomorrow, February 5, it comes during a turbulent period for the Portuguese captain in the Saudi Pro League.
