Cristiano Ronaldo (left) and James Rodriguez were among the
guests to attend the glitzy wedding of super-agent Jorge Mendes on Sunday
(right). The Real Madrid duo made their way to Porto to celebrate alongside
almost 400 other guests at the swanky bash. Ronaldo was given the honour of
being best man and reports in Spain suggest he lived up to the billing by
buying Mendes his own Greek island as a wedding present.
Mendes, who has brokered more than £1billion of transfer
deals and has a client list that includes Jose Mourinho and David de Gea,
married Sandra Barbosa in the affluent Foz do Douro.
Other star names at the bash included Real Madrid president
Florentino Perez, players such as Fabio Coentrao, Pepe, Deco and Jose Bosingwa
and former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
During his time at Old Trafford Ferguson claimed Mendes was
one of the best agents he ever had the pleasure to deal with.
He said: ‘Jorge Mendes is the best agent I dealt with,
without a doubt. He was responsible, looked after his players… and was very
fair with clubs.’
In recent seasons Mendes, who is dubbed one of the most
powerful men in football, has helped United bring such players as Ronaldo,
Nani, Anderson, Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao to Old Trafford.
