Cristiano Ronaldo is set to expand his bulging business empire with a £43m complex of 88 flats that will be named after him in his native Madeira - and just round the corner from his mum Dolores!

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to expand his already-bulging business portfolio with a new real estate project in his native Madeira.

The 37-year-old, currently unemployed after parting company with Manchester United, is building on his partnership with hotel group Pestana with a £43million apartment complex.

The residential flats are due to go up on land Cristiano owns at Praia Formosa, near to the seven-storey building which forms part of his property empire where his mum Dolores Aveiro and older brother Hugo live.

The complex, consisting of 88 apartments, will be called Pestana Residences CR7.
