Ronaldo's Almeria Ambition

Cristiano Ronaldo's business ventures are as impressive as his football career. He owns a part of UD Almeria, a Spanish football club. In 2026, he bought 25 percent of the club through his company, CR7 Sports Investments.

At that time, he expressed his excitement about being involved with the club. He said it was his long-time goal to contribute to football beyond playing.

UD Almeria has a strong foundation and potential for growth. Ronaldo looked forward to working with the leadership team to support the club's next phase of growth.

The club narrowly missed out on promotion to LaLiga. To mount another promotion charge in the 2026/27 season, retaining key players will be crucial.

Dion Lopy, a defensive midfielder, has officially signed a contract extension until 2030. He played a significant role last season, starting 27 games, scoring 3 goals, and providing 2 assists.

Lopy's commitment to the club will likely please Ronaldo, who is chasing success with his new club. The club aims to build on last season's performance and push for promotion.
