Patrice Evra jokingly demanded a gift from Cristiano Ronaldo after seeing his rare £300,000 Rolex.
The former Manchester United full-back was blown away by the value of the timepiece.
Ronaldo has an impressive watch collection understood to be worth a staggering $10million (£8million).
Amongst them is a Daytona Rainbow Rolex, which costs upwards of £300,000.
Evra reacted to the timepiece during an appearance on YouTuber Nico Leonard’s channel.
After the watch expert had explained the rarity of the watch, Evra asked: “So this is like, what, £10,000?”
Having then been told the Rolex is instead worth at least 30 times that amount, he hinted at wanting a gift from his old team-mate.
The Frenchman suggested Ronaldo should sweeten his arrival next time he visits him in Saudi Arabia.
Looking to the camera, Evra said: “Okay, Cristiano, next time I come to Saudi to visit you, so you know what you got to do.”
The pair made 121 appearances together for the Red Devils between 2006 and 2009.
During that period, they won nine trophies including the Champions League, Club World Cup and three consecutive Premier League titles.
Ronaldo’s stunning watch collection also includes a £1.2million Franck Muller Round Turbillon.
He was spotted wearing the diamond-encrusted wristwear as he sat ringside for Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury in May.
Meanwhile, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner launched his own collection with Jacob & Co in October.
The collaboration features two timepieces called Flight of CR7 and Heart of CR7.
Between them, the watches have a combined value of £64,000, with the Flight of CR7 costing £44,672 on its own.
