Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly in talks with Spanish Segunda Division club Almeria regarding a potential investment, according to recent reports.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is said to be discussing the purchase of shares in the club, which currently sits sixth in Spain's second division with just two games remaining in the season.

Almeria, who were relegated from LaLiga last season, are now poised to enter the promotion playoffs as they seek an immediate return to Spain's top flight. Levante and Elche currently occupy the automatic promotion spots at the top of the Segunda Division.

According to Marca, as cited by Football Espana, Ronaldo's potential investment is linked to businessman Mohamed Al-Khereiji, who played a pivotal role in bringing the Portuguese star to Saudi Arabia in December 2022. Al-Khereiji now heads a Saudi investment group that has taken control of Almeria.

Sources indicate that any deal for Ronaldo to acquire shares would likely be contingent on Almeria securing promotion back to LaLiga through the upcoming playoffs.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo's future at Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr remains uncertain as he approaches the end of his current contract. The 39-year-old is reportedly weighing offers from Brazil, Turkey, and his boyhood club Sporting CP.

The 2024-25 season has been disappointing for Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, with the team currently sitting third in the Saudi Pro League and having been eliminated from the AFC Champions League. This means Ronaldo will end the season without adding to his extensive trophy collection.

Football analysts suggest Ronaldo may opt against renewing his Al-Nassr contract due to the club's inability to attract high-caliber players capable of competing for major honors.

This potential investment in Almeria could signal Ronaldo's growing interest in football club ownership as he plans for his post-playing career, following a path taken by several former football stars who have transitioned into ownership and management roles.
