A little over a decade ago, Cristiano Ronaldo did not want to contemplate life after football. In 2016, Ronaldo partnered with a hotel group to open a property in Madeira. As well as ownership stakes, he has high-profile partnerships with leading brands, has opened gyms across Portugal and Spain, and launched a range of watches. Ronaldo co-founded a hair-transplant clinic group now operating in Spain, Portugal, Oman and Italy. And now he has taken a 25% stake in Almeria, who are owned by Al Khereiji - key to his move to Al-Nassr following his exit from Manchester United.
