Cristiano Ronaldo has made a significant move in his post-playing career by acquiring a 25% stake in the Spanish second-division football club Almería, which is owned by Saudi investors. This investment aligns Ronaldo with other prominent footballers, such as Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, who also hold stakes in football clubs. The acquisition reflects his long-held ambition to be involved in club ownership, especially as he hinted at the possibility of influencing teams like Manchester United in the future. As a co-owner of Almería, Ronaldo aims to help the club pursue promotion to La Liga while exploring his new role in the football industry.
