After Ronaldo's frequent visits to Marrakech made international headlines Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez decided to ban the player from travelling to Morocco.

However the Portuguese star defied Perez's decision and continued to make regular trips to Marrakech.

In the last three months of 2015 Ronaldo travelled up to four times a week to Morocco at the end of his training sessions with the Blancos.

Amid the confusion surrounding the Real Madrid striker's frequent visits the president of King Mohammed VI's Fans Association Mehdi Benkirane revealed the purpose behind Ronaldo's many trips to Morocco.

Benkirane said that Ronaldo is planning to build the a first-class hotel for international celebrities in Marrakech.
