"It has been a longtime ambition of mine to contribute to football, beyond the pitch. UD Almeria is a Spanish club with strong foundations and clear potential for growth. I look forward to working alongside the leadership team to support the club's next phase of growth."
"We are very pleased that Cristiano has chosen our club to invest in. He is regarded as the greatest to ever play the game, he knows the Spanish leagues very well and he understands the potential of what we are building here both in terms of the team and the academy."
Cristiano Ronaldo has purchased a 25% stake in Spanish Segunda Division club Almeria through his newly formed CR7 Sports Investments company, marking his entry into club ownership. At 41 years old, Ronaldo continues performing on the pitch while planning for life after retirement. Almeria, currently third in the Segunda Division, is backed by Saudi investors led by Mohamed Al Khereiji, reportedly a close associate of Ronaldo.
