Softfootball confirms that Cristiano Ronaldo acquired a 25% stake in Almería, marking the Portuguese icon’s official entry into football ownership.
The 41-year-old recently scored his 965th career goal during Al-Nassr FC’s dominant victory over Al-Najmah, further cementing his status as one of football’s greatest-ever scorers. His remarkable consistency continues to defy age and expectation.
Off the pitch, Ronaldo continues to expand his legacy, but on it, he remains as decisive as ever. The recent development was reported by trusted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his official X account.
Romano stated:
OFFICIAL: Cristiano Ronaldo buys 25% of Spanish side Almeria. Deal completed with second division side currently owned by Saudi investment group.
The move aligns with his growing CR7 Sports ventures and maintains his strong ties to Spain, where he previously starred for Real Madrid CF. The Segunda División side, owned by a Saudi investment group, could benefit from Ronaldo’s experience and global influence as they push for promotion.
Following the February 21, 2026 triumph, Ronaldo reaffirmed his commitment to Saudi Arabia, stating that he belongs there and praising the welcoming environment his family has enjoyed since arriving in 2022.
