Cristiano Ronaldo’s legs insured for $144 million
Real Madrid is attempting to protect themselves in case, Cristiano, 24, ever gets seriously injured during a soccer match, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo. Portuguese and Real Madrid winger is the latest member to join the ‘celebrity insurance club’. Fearing the worst after the Portuguese picked up a knock recently, the Spanish giants have insured his legs for an estimated $144 million.
It was definitely a cause of worry for boss Florentino Perez when he heard that Ronaldo had already been fouled 34 times in three pre-season games. While the sum may sound extravagant, the amount realistically quantifies Cristiano’s dollar value to Real Madrid in terms of market and monetary income. The insuring of Ronaldo’s legendary pins comes shortly after Czech footballer Zdenek Grygera delivered a vicious kick to Cristiano’s leg near the knee during a recent friendly.
