Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH Portuguborn 5 February 1985, is a
Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club
Real Madrid and serves as captain of the
Portuguese national team.
Ronaldo currently holds the distinction of being the most expensive player in
football history after having transferred to
Real Madrid in a deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). His contract with
Real Madrid is believed to have made him the highest-paid player in the
world.
Ronaldo began his career as a youth player at
CD Nacional and his successes with the team led to a move to Sporting Clube de
Portugal two seasons afterwards.
Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season,
Ronaldo won his first club honour, the
FA Cup, and reached the
UEFA Euro 2004 final with
Portugal, in which tournament he scored his
first international goal.
