LaLiga reacts as Cristiano Ronaldo buys Spanish club

La Liga president Javier Tebas has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to buy into UD Almería.

Ronaldo last month, acquired a 25% stake in the Spanish second-division club through his CR7 Sports Investments.

Since the deal was completed Almeria have seen their social media numbers explode and they are currently the fifth most-followed club in Spain.

Tebas has now spoken about the importance of the investment by Ronaldo, who previously played for Real Madrid in LaLiga.

“Almería are now fifth Spanish club on social media since Cristiano Ronaldo decided to invest into their project,” Tebas said.

“This is very important to get sponsors and improve the project for long term. Cristiano into the Almería project means ambition for the future.”
