Ronaldo expands his empire with an Almería stake.

Ronaldo takes a 25% stake in Almería.

Ronaldo's stake signals ambition beyond the pitch

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League icon, aged 41, seems content with his latest move and future plans.

Yesterday, Almería crushed Cultural Leonesa 3-0 in a Spanish second-division clash, moving to second place four points behind leaders Racing Santander and three behind Castellón.

Ronaldo disclosed he owns 25% of Almería, expanding the Portuguese star's vast portfolio outside the pitch.

According to AS, he acquired 25% of the club, which could help pave a route to the first division.

The purchase was described as a strategic investment, reflecting Ronaldo's long-term commitment to professional clubs.

Ronaldo used Instagram to send a public message to Almería's followers, signaling his interest in the club's future.

In response to the match, Ronaldo commented: Great victory. We'll keep going, Almería, alongside a photo of a goal celebration.

That message came after multiple outlets, including AS, reported the stake and the club's promotion potential.

Which, apparently, Ronaldo will leverage to keep ownership ambitions aligned with his sporting ventures.

Punchline: Ronaldo's portfolio grows so fast, the trophy room needs a mortgage.

Punchline 2: At this rate, even his calendar is in negotiations.
