Cristiano Ronaldo hires new security team after family receives threats

Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has hired a new security team.

This follows threats to the 40-year-old’s family, with an “intimidating” bodyguard protecting them.

Concerns have been raised regarding Ronaldo’s security in Saudi Arabia.

There have been a series of alarming threats made to Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina, on social media, leading to changes being made to his backroom team.

According to Malaysian news outlet NST, Ronaldo, Georgina and their children have been living a quiet life in the Middle East.

Distressing images and messages have, however, been posted online, forcing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to take decisive action.

Georgina has also limited exposing her kids on social media, which forms part of a wider security strategy.
