Instead, the Portuguese superstar is reportedly in negotiations to purchase one of the LaLiga clubs he tormented during his legendary spell in Spain.

Ronaldo in talks over Valencia takeover

According to reports from Foot Mercato, relayed by BeIN Sports, Ronaldo has engaged in discussions with Valencia’s current owner, Peter Lim, about becoming the club’s majority shareholder.

The two share a long-standing friendship, and Lim even owns the rights to Ronaldo’s image, making the potential deal a little easier to navigate.

With Lim eager to sell his entire stake by the end of the season, Ronaldo reportedly sees an opportunity to step into club ownership and establish himself in LaLiga once again.

The Portuguese icon, who has openly stated his desire to settle in Spain after retiring from football, could use his influence to rebuild Valencia into a competitive force.

However, while Ronaldo has the ambition, the financial challenge of purchasing a club of Valencia’s stature is significant. Reports suggest he may seek backing from Saudi Arabia’s royal investment funds to complete the takeover and provide long-term financial stability to the Mestalla-based club.

Ronaldo hoping to own Valencia off the pitch like he did on it

For Valencia fans, the thought of Ronaldo owning their club might bring mixed emotions. On one hand, he remains one of the greatest players in LaLiga history, but on the other, he spent years dismantling their team on the pitch.

During his time at Real Madrid and Juventus, Ronaldo faced Valencia 20 times, securing 12 wins and scoring 15 goals against them, repeatedly proving to be their worst nightmare.

But now, with Ronaldo eyeing ownership, Valencia fans could soon find themselves cheering for the man who once haunted them.

If the deal goes through, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would be in a position to reshape the club’s future and perhaps even restore them to their former glory as six-time LaLiga champions and European contenders.
