Cristiano Ronaldo becomes co-owner of Spanish club Almeria

Cristiano Ronaldo has become co-owner of Spanish 2^nd-division team Almeria by acquiring a ¼ share in the side.

The Portuguese football superstar has bought his stake in Almeria, which is owned by a Saudi Arabian investment consortium led by Mohammed Al-Khereiji.

“I always wanted to contribute to football, beyond the pitch,” Cristiano shared. “Now I have that opportunity as UD Almeria is a Spanish team with strong foundations and clear potential for growth.”

The Portuguese star spent 9 years in Spain as part of Real Madrid, as he triumphed with LaLiga 2 times and lifted the UCL 4 times before leaving to sign with Juventus 8 years ago.

Ronaldo has been part of the Saudi league since 2022, when he inked a deal with Al-Nassr, and is the best-paid footballer in the history of the game, earning almost 200 million pounds per year.
