Juventus talisman Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly agreed a deal which will see him earn over $1.3million (£1m) to star in a Compare The Market advert.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the first footballer to rake in over $1 billion through career earnings, is expected to fly to the UK over the next few weeks to shoot the advert with the brand’s popular meerkats Aleksandr and Sergei.
