Cristiano Ronaldo signs contract with fiance to protect his wealth
According to a claim from the Portuguese TV Show ‘TV Guia’ via Sportskeeda, Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently launched legal action to safeguard his fortune from his partner Georgina Rodriguez.
According to the article, Ronaldo’s intention to preserve his fortune was reflected in a secret pact put in place in the event that they parted ways in the future.
Ronaldo and Miss Rodriguez have been in a long-term romance since 2016, and they are expected to marry at some point.
According to the article, they have a prenuptial agreement in place to safeguard Ronaldo’s vast riches from his spouse in the event of a separation.
This deal, however, secures Rodriguez’s future with her children. The player pays her a monthly stipend of 100,000 euros.
The total will rise even more in the event of a divorce. Rodriguez will also receive the La Finca mansion featured in the Netflix reality show ‘I am Georgina’ (via Trendencias).
Ronaldo Jr., Eva Maria, Mateo Ronaldo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda are Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s five children.

Xavi to stay as Barcelona’s coach until at least June 2025
Barcelona coach Xavi will stay with the club until at least the end of his contract in June 2025, having changed his mind about this being his final season.
The 44-year-old stated in January that he will stand down as manager this summer.
However, with president Joan Laporta desperate for him to stay, the former Barcelona and Spain midfielder has made a U-turn.
Xavi took over as manager of Barcelona in November 2021, after leaving Qatari club Al Sadd, and led the team to the Spanish title in his first full season in charge in 2022–23.
However, they are 11 points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid with six games remaining in the current season.
Barcelona were eliminated from the Champions League last week after losing to PSG in the quarterfinals.
Xavi, who won 25 honours during his brilliant playing career at Barcelona, said he felt “liberated” with the revelation that he would leave the position at the conclusion of the season.
When he announced his departure following the defeat to Villarreal, he felt he was not being safeguarded by the club and there was no clear direction.
However, the team’s fortunes have improved since Xavi felt comfortable taking a more casual attitude.
They went ten games undefeated in the league before falling 3-2 to Real Madrid on Sunday.
On Wednesday, there was a meeting at Laporta’s residence, and the club’s desire for him to stay was clear.
If Xavi is unable to strengthen the squad before the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, Barcelona will attempt to persuade one of the high-profile managers out of contract, including Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, and Mikel Arteta.
