'It looks like a hospital' - Cristiano Ronaldo annoys neighbours with construction work on lavish £28m Lisbon mansion

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is in the process of working through a big-money project that has already taken three years and is expected to require at least another 12 months of work.

Initial reports suggested that the building in question would cost around £10 million 13m to complete, but that budget has since soared to £28m 36m. Locals are less than impressed at the current state of affairs, and what the finished article will look like.

Look magazine reports Ronaldo’s neighbours as saying “Theyve been building for three years. The house is so big it looks like a hospital.

My street has been closed for months, my garden is full of dust. All because of Pharaoh Ronaldos pyramid.”

Ronaldo is expected to spend more time at his lavish Lisbon abode – one that includes a giant glass swimming pool with an underwater walkway

once his remarkable playing career comes to close, with the 38-year-old piecing together long-term plans for his family.
