"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."
"The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's much more than that. If I will be the owner, I could fix the problems."
Cristiano Ronaldo has entered football ownership by acquiring a 25 percent stake in Spanish second-division club Almeria through CR7 Sports Investments. At 41 years old, Ronaldo continues playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia while planning for life after retirement. The purchase follows Almeria's takeover by a Saudi investment group a year prior. Ronaldo expressed his long-standing ambition to contribute to football beyond playing and highlighted Almeria's strong foundations and growth potential. This investment may represent the beginning of a broader ownership strategy, as Ronaldo has previously indicated interest in acquiring Manchester United, his former club, suggesting structural issues at United extend beyond coaching decisions.
