Brazil Great Ronaldo Sells Stake in Valladolid

In May 2025, Ronaldo Nazário ended his seven-year tenure as owner of Real Valladolid by divesting his controlling shares in the Spanish club.
The sale followed mounting fan protests and a disastrous 2024/25 season that condemned Valladolid to relegation from La Liga.
The transfer agreement, signed with a North American investment group backed by a European fund, awaits approval by the Higher Sports Council.
Valladolid suffered 29 defeats in 37 league games this season, and Ronaldo expressed his intention to shift attention towards different business interests, while the consortium committed to continued investment in the club.
Ronaldo's departure may relieve fan unrest but raises questions about Valladolid's future competitiveness under new ownership.
