LaLiga president Javier Tebas has praised Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to invest in Spanish club UD Almeria.
Ronaldo recently acquired a 25 per cent stake in the Segunda División side through his company, CR7 Sports Investments.
Since completing the deal, Almeria have experienced a significant rise in their social media presence, becoming the fifth most-followed club in Spain.
Tebas highlighted the impact of Ronaldo’s involvement, noting that the Portuguese star, who previously played for Real Madrid in LaLiga, has brought renewed attention to the club.
“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.”
