#BBB NEWS| Check Out Cristiano Ronaldo's $18.5m Trump Tower Apartment That Inspired '50 Shades of Grey' [PHOTOS]

Cristiano Ronaldo has completed the purchase of an $18.5million (£11.8m) flat in New York that was reportedly the inspiration behind the novel '50 Shades of Grey'.

The big-money property is in 'Trump Tower' owned by US tycoon and presidential candidate Donald Trump, on Fifth Avenue in the Big Apple.

The news has again fuelled the rumours that Ronaldo wants to play in the US before he retires.

A move to LA Galaxy was touted by Sports Illustrated when Ronaldo's Real Madrid contract expires in 2018, while nascent franchise LAFC are known to be "obsessed" with his signing.

But his newest purchase may make the ears of the hierarchies at New York City FC and New York Red Bulls prick up.

The flat was bought from Italian real-estate mogul Alessandro Proto, a partner of Trump.

And it was Proto's old apartment, the New York Post reports, that was the inspiration for sex-obsessed sadist Christian Grey in the novel 50 Shades of Grey, written by E.L. James.

The Real Madrid star's new pad is spread out over 2,509 square feet and features views of Central Park.
