Ronaldo had a positive impact on Almeria. |
Just 24 hours after announcing the purchase of a 25% stake in Almeria, Cristiano Ronaldo created an immediate impact. The club's Instagram followers increased by over 2 million, bringing the total number of followers to nearly 3 million, an unprecedented figure in the team's history.
The appearance of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner as a shareholder immediately created a powerful media boost. Not only did social media explode, but Almeria's brand value was also predicted to increase significantly thanks to the global appeal of the Portuguese superstar.
The deal, announced on February 26th, marks a major turning point for the team currently playing in the Segunda División. Almeria is currently third in the league table, behind CD Castellon on goal difference and one point behind Racing Santander. The promotion race is therefore still wide open, and the opportunity to return to La Liga remains within reach.
The financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The investment was made through CR7 Sports Investments, a newly established subsidiary of CR7 SA, the group that manages Ronaldo's sports business ventures. This marks his first investment in a Spanish club.
However, the possibility of Ronaldo being both a shareholder and playing in La Liga for Almeria is almost impossible if the team is promoted. According to Spanish regulations, a player currently playing is not allowed to have commercial ties to domestic professional leagues and simultaneously play in them.
However, the mere presence of Ronaldo in the ownership structure was enough to change Almeria's status. From an ambitious club in the Segunda División, they have now entered a new phase with media and commercial appeal far exceeding what it was before.
