Cristiano Ronaldo tipped to become part-owner of LaLiga club to add to business empire
CRISTIANO RONALDO is set to buy a stake in Spanish club Almeria, according to reports. The second-tier side have been taken over by a Saudi investment group. 3 3 Ronaldo, 40, is understood to have a close relationship with the group's leader Mohamed Al-Khereiji. The Saudi businessman is said to have helped facilitate the Portuguese star's free transfer to Al-Nassr in 2022. According to Marca, Ronaldo's friendship with Al-Khereiji could pave the way for the former Manchester United star to buy shares in Almeria. The forward took on Almeria several times during his time at Real Madrid. Ronaldo scored seven goals in as many appearances against the Andalusian side. While CR7 continues to ply his trade in Saudi Arabia, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has built up an impressive business empire off the pitch. Ronaldo famously has CR7 pants, fragrance and shoe lines. And the veteran forward has also invested in water and athlete recovery brands, in addition to a healthy-living app. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 3 Ronaldo is an ambassador for the 2034 Saudi World Cup.
