Nobody likes falling out with their neighbors.
And now it appears even Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to rub his neighbors up the wrong way.
And the crazy thing – he hasn’t even moved in yet.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know the 38-year-old is currently plying his trade in the Middle East with Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
It was a move many didn’t see coming, but it has opened the gates for several other professionals heading in the same direction chasing lucrative contracts.
Although Ronaldo is eager to continue playing professional football, he is already planning for life after his career comes to an end.
Part of those plans include the development of a $35 million property just outside of Lisbon, Portugal.
Ronaldo was clearly looking to the future, as he actually commissioned work to be carried out on the property three years ago.
This is where the problem lies, though.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s neighbors are growing increasingly frustrated by the new mansion and how long it’s taking to build.
“They’ve been building for three years. The house is so big it loks like a hospital,” one disgruntled neighbor said.
“My street has been closed for months, my garden is full of dust. All because of Pharoah Ronaldo’s pyramid,” another said.
The property itself is said to feature a giant swimming pool with an underwater walkway, as well as a master bedroom measuring 1,000 square-feet.
Rumor has it, the initial cost of the project was set to be around $12.6 million but this has since risen to $35 million.
Apparently, the reasons behind this dramatic increase stem from a golf clubhouse near to the property having to be relocated.
Here’s to hoping Ronaldo smooths over the relationship cracks before moving into his new pad.
