He’s one of the most noteworthy soccer players to ever play the sport, and Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying all of the fruits of his success. And yesterday (September 14) he was spotted enjoying the natural beauty of his homeland.

The paparazzi caught Ronaldo going for a swim in Funchal, Portugal while in town to attend the Golden Shoe awards. And he looked hot in a pair of white swim shorts along with a white rosary necklace and a pair of goggles.

As for the reports that Manchester City would pay $270 million to Manchester United for Cristiano, the prized player says it doesn’t matter - he’s not interested in trading.

He told press, "No way do I see myself in the shirt of another Manchester team. I didn't realize I was worth that much!"
