CRISTIANO Ronaldo’s interior designers had to call in a crane to get a giant new bed into the master bedroom of his luxury Lisbon penthouse.
The bed was ordered as part of a makeover of the Juventus star’s £6million apartment in the Portuguese capital.
The transformation of the property is also said to have included a £300,000 Louis Vuitton mural Cristiano ordered for the entrance hall.
The 36-year-old was identified in December 2019 as the buyer of the flat in the Avenida da Liberdade area of central Lisbon, described as the most expensive apartment ever sold in Portugal.
Five interior designers have been transforming the property for the former Manchester United striker and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, according to Portuguese press reports.
As well as a new bed for the master bedroom and the wall mural, his four children’s bedrooms have been decorated according to the wishes of Cristinianho, Eva, Mateo and Alana Martina.
All four youngsters are said to have been given voice-activated remote control for their TVs to watch their favourite cartoons.
The apartment is expected to be one of four homes Cristiano and his family will divide their time between when he retires from football.
The other is a new mansion he is having built on a large plot of land in Quinta da Marinha on the so-called Portuguese Riviera, half an hour from Lisbon Airport and ten minutes from the centre of the coastal town of Cascais.
Cristiano also owns a £4.8 million mansion on a gated fortress estate called La Finca near Madrid.
He showed off the house in a video released in December 2015, treating fans to a tour of his bedroom, living room, dining room and garden and wishing people a Merry Christmas.
The footballer’s property empire also includes a seven-storey apartment block overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the Madeiran capital Funchal which he purchased in 2019.
His mum Dolores and older brother Hugo and his family live at the property.
Cristiano is understood to have beaten off bids from two other millionaires to snap up the 3,100 square foot apartment now being redesigned. It has its own spa and swimming pool.
Earlier this week it emerged his Spanish girlfriend, a shop worker when she met Ronaldo, is due to star in a Netflix docu-series charting her life.
