Cristiano Ronaldo recently turned 40 years old, and his time in the world of soccer seems to be nearing its end. We're talking at least about his career as a professional athlete, because rumors are growing about the possible purchase of a club.
We are not the ones saying it... It has been released by Telecinco. The television channel revealed that the Portuguese star is in negotiations to acquire Valencia CF, a historic rival of Real Madrid in La Liga.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to buy Valencia
The information has gone viral and is spreading like wildfire. Journalist Ricardo Reyes has revealed this possibility on the program Vamos a ver. "The next thing Cristiano Ronaldo has in mind is to buy a club, an important one," he said.
According to Ricardo Reyes, "400 million euros, he would go hand in hand with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. It's Valencia, which the owner (Peter Lim), who is his friend, wants to sell."
No one expected that the host of the show, Joaquín Prat, with great connections in the world of soccer, would take it as a given. "I've been told it's a done deal. In Valencia, many say this is almost done," he pointed out on Telecinco.
Cristiano Ronaldo already has connections with Valencia
For some time now, Cristiano Ronaldo has maintained a great friendship with Peter Lim, the current owner of Valencia. He met him through his former agent years ago, Jorge Mendes, serving as a connection between the two.
In this regard, the relationship with the current president of the Valencians, Kiat Lim, the owner's son, is also excellent. They are both partners and maintain certain business ventures together.
Lim may have already grown tired of owning Valencia CF and has put the entity up for sale. He is waiting for the right offer, which could be from Cristiano Ronaldo accompanied by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo has accumulated a lot of money that would now allow him to be an important part of this investment group for Valencia. Precisely, in Saudi Arabia, where his great partner would be, he is earning a contract of 200 million euros net per season.
Cristiano Ronaldo already has enough money to buy Valencia just with what he earns there. The proposal seems to convince Lim. Telecinco is taking for granted that the former Real Madrid player will be the next owner of the chés.
