Cristiano Ronaldo: Image is an essential tool to be successful Serie A Opens business venture on 18 March

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is known for looking after himself off the pitch and that has seen the Portuguese decide to open a hair transplant clinic in Madrid.

The business venture will officially open on 18 March.

"It [Madrid] is the city that has marked by life forever, from a professional point of view to the way in which it affected me [personally]," Ronaldo told the newspaper ABC.

"I established an important part of my career there and it is also where I started my family.

"I like to bet on enterprising projects with solid characteristics to spread the best of what we have in Portugal throughout the world.

"I miss the people of Madrid."

The clinic, located on Joaquin Costa Street, has an area of 2,500 square metres and will have 150 professionals who will be able to perform 18 treatments per day.

"Just like in football, I will put all of my effort and dedication to make this project the best in the world in this field," Ronaldo added.

The 34-year-old also emphasised the importance of maintaining a healthy image.

"That's why I do physical exercise and try to eat well [to stay healthy]," said Ronaldo.

"The most important thing is taking care of our body simultaneously at the same time as our health."
