Footballer to spend New Year in Morocco with close friend

Football star and Real Madrid forward, Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to return to Morocco to spend the New Year with his kick boxer friend Badr Hari. Badr was the person that is rumored to be Christiano's gay partner.

The gay relationship story began when it was reported that the Portuguese player was making a regular trip to Morocco to see Badr. Also at that time, pictures surfaced showing the Kick boxer carrying Ronaldo as well as others that shows them in cozy positions.

However, it is believed that Ronaldo was going to Morocco to see a Portuguese-French Model Melanie Martins.

According to Arabic Newspaper Ajbar Al Yaum, Ronaldo has reserved a £2,400-a-night suite at luxury hotel The Pearl Marrakech for his trip and pair will party together in Marrakesh in between two matches for Real Madrid.

Needless to say that it was at this same hotel that he was pictured in Hari's arms in photos which sparked bizarre claims the pair were in a gay relationship.

Ronaldo is expected to make the trip in his £13.5million Gulfstream G200 private jet after his side's home match tomorrow afternoon against Real Sociedad.

Ronaldo spent Christmas in Miami, thousands of miles from his family including his mum Dolores and five year old son Cristianinho.

While in the US, he enjoyed VIP treatment while watching Miami Heat play the Detroit Pistons before being pictured relaxing bare-chested by his hotel pool.

It has also been revealed that Ronaldo has invited his embattled Real Madrid strike partner Karim Benzema.

Benzema, who has been suspended from the French national team while he is investigated on suspicion of involvement in a blackmail plot against teammate Mathieu Valbuena, has also said to have accepted an invite to the New Year celebrations in Marrakesh.
