Cristiano Ronaldo buys Spanish club stake

Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has expanded his football portfolio by acquiring a 25% share in a Spanish second division club supported by Saudi investors. This move comes after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner previously claimed he could have fixed Manchester United's problems during his time at the club.

The 38-year-old, who has been at the forefront of football for the past two decades as a player, will now continue his influence in the sport as a club owner. The exact value of the stake was not disclosed, but the move represents Ronaldo's first foray into club ownership after his storied playing career.
