@Source: thesun.ie
CRISTIANO RONALDO is set to buy a stake in Spanish club Almeria, according to reports.
The second-tier side have been taken over by a Saudi investment group.
Ronaldo, 40, is understood to have a close relationship with the group's leader Mohamed Al-Khereiji.
The Saudi businessman is said to have helped facilitate the Portuguese star's free transfer to Al-Nassr in 2022.
According to Marca, Ronaldo's friendship with Al-Khereiji could pave the way for the former Manchester United star to buy shares in Almeria.
The forward took on Almeria several times during his time at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo scored seven goals in as many appearances against the Andalusian side.
While CR7 continues to ply his trade in Saudi Arabia, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has built up an impressive business empire off the pitch.
Ronaldo famously has CR7 pants, fragrance and shoe lines.
And the veteran forward has also invested in water and athlete recovery brands, in addition to a healthy-living app.

Ronaldo is an ambassador for the 2034 Saudi World Cup.
The Saudis were confirmed as hosts last October after Australia announced that they would not be running.
Ronaldo has scored 23 goals in 28 Saudi Pro League appearances this season.
But with Al-Nassr once again going trophyless, some fans blasted Ronaldo on social media this week.
