The famous Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is planning to buy Valencia CF from La Liga with the financial support of the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince. However, the club's current owner, Peter Lim, has stated that the club is not for sale. According to reports, Ronaldo's move is contingent upon Valencia remaining in the league. If the team is relegated to the second division, this move may not happen.
It has been claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo has taken steps to buy Valencia CF with the financial support of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. However, the club's current owner, Peter Lim, insists that the club is not for sale.
According to the Spanish press, Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to take on a role as an investor beyond his identity as a football player. With the financial backing of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the star footballer's first club acquisition move could be Valencia CF.
400 MILLION EUROS
Although the current owner, Peter Lim, frequently states that the club is not for sale, different information is circulating behind the scenes. According to claims, Lim initiated a long-term plan by appointing his son Kiat Lim as the club president on March 3. However, some sources suggest that Lim told Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he could sell the club for 400 million euros.
THINGS COULD CHANGE IF THEY GET RELEGATED
Ronaldo's plan for Valencia is contingent on the club remaining in the league. Currently sitting in 15th place in La Liga, Valencia is just 5 points above the relegation zone. If the team gets relegated to the second division, this move could be shelved.
Valencia is also showing signs of economic recovery. The construction of the New Mestalla Stadium has resumed after 16 years. With a new agreement made with FCC, the club has finally taken concrete steps to move into its new home.
