"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 of the club, I will make things clear and adjust things that are bad there."
Cristiano Ronaldo has secured a 25 percent shareholding in Almeria, a Spanish second-tier club, through his CR7 Sports Investments company. This acquisition marks his entry into football ownership while he continues playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo stated his long-standing ambition to contribute to football beyond playing and expressed confidence in Almeria's growth potential. The investment follows Almeria's acquisition by a Saudi investment consortium one year prior. Ronaldo has publicly indicated interest in eventually owning Manchester United, his former club, suggesting he could resolve the club's operational issues through ownership. He remains contracted to Al-Nassr until June 2027.
