PIERS MORGAN is one of just 57 people Cristiano Ronaldo follows on Twitter.
The legendary Portuguese has just completed a £12.8million transfer from Juventus to Manchester United and the TV presenter said he is more expensive than the superstar.
Ex-Good Morning Britain host Morgan, 56, often discusses his relationship with the iconic 36-year-old.
The pair most famously linked up when Ronaldo sat down for an interview with Morgan in 2019.
Ronnie famously cried after being shown a video of his ‘alcoholic’ father Dinis who died, aged 52, when the ex-Real Madrid man was 20.
And the pair appear to have maintained contact with Morgan recently claiming Ronnie texted him after he became the highest Euros scorer ever this summer.
Back in December Morgan’s then-GMB co-host Susanna Reid claimed Ronaldo ‘ghosted’ him.
But while the level of contact they have remains unclear, the former Juve man still follows Morgan on Twitter and Instagram.
