Cristiano Ronaldo struggling to hire £4,500 a month chef

Plays world's smallest violin

Cristiano Ronaldo is struggling to hire a chef to cook for him and his family at their home on the Portuguese Riviera. The MailOnline have revealed that Ronaldo wants to hire someone for the house which has been dubbed as his 'retirement home', which is set to be finished in June. Some of the vacancies - which includes a £4,800-a-month butler - have been filled already, but others such as the chef still need to find the perfect candidate. Ronaldo has reportedly designed part of his house to accommodate for the preparation of the Japanese delicacy: sushi. But, as with all sushi preparation areas in any house, the question of who is going to prepare the food for Ronaldo, his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their five children is proving to be quite the stress.

Although sushi is a popular form of cuisine in the Ronaldo household his mother Dolores Aveiro revealed that his favourite fish is in fact bacalhau a bras, which is a traditional Portuguese dish made with salt cod, potatoes and eggs. Aveiro even revealed - probably to Ronaldo's annoyance - on Portuguese TV last year that her son is also partial to a pizza once a week but compensates for it by doing 'loads of sit-ups' afterwards. Ronaldo won't need the chef straightaway as he continues to live life in Saudi Arabia after his move to Al Nassr. He and his family are currently staying at the Four Seasons Hotel - one of the tallest buildings in the country - in Riyadh, where he has been gifted one of the best suites available. Related links:
