Jorge Mendes has been involved in plenty of football’s most extravagant purchases, but the boot was on the other foot as the super-agent prepared for his wedding.
Guests at the ceremony will include Portuguese stars like Pepe, Fabio Coentrao and Cristiano Ronaldo, who bought Mendes a truly remarkable present.
The Ballon d’Or winner surprised his close friend and agent with a private island. Yes, you read that right, Mendes is now the proud owner of a Greek island, all thanks to his pal Cristiano.
The gift set Ronaldo back up to €50m, according to reports in his native Portugal, though the current financial situation in Greece may have helped bring the price down.
With presents like this, we imagine the Real Madrid star might be invited to a few more weddings before the year’s out.
