Cristiano Ronaldo has acquired a 25% stake in Spanish second-tier side Almeria, the club said on Thursday, Reuters reported. 

The Portuguese forward, who spent nine years at Real Madrid and is the club's all-time top goalscorer, invested in Almeria through his company CR7 Sports.

Almeria, who were relegated from LaLiga in 2023-24 and were taken over by Saudi-based SMC Group in 2025, did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, according to Reuters.
