Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Saudi Al-Nasr team, continues to make a noticeable impact in the world of football, whether inside or outside the green rectangle. In an unexpected surprise, the 41-year-old player announced on February 26 that he had acquired 25% of the shares of Almeria Club, a Spanish second division team.
Under this partnership, Ronaldo seeks to support the club and help it achieve its dream of climbing to the First Division. To this end, he hopes to convince a midfielder from his former club Real Madrid to join Almería.
According to what was published by the newspaper “Marca”, Cristiano Ronaldo places the young star Cesar Palacios as a main target to strengthen the team’s strength in the coming season.
The midfielder coming from Castilla, Real Madrid’s second team, is characterized by creative skills and high scoring abilities, in addition to remarkable tactical maturity, qualities that attracted the attention of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Almeria management, as they see him as the ideal choice to strengthen the team’s midfield.
His training with Real Madrid also contributed to building a strong tactical base for him, which makes him able to quickly adapt to the team, and makes signing him a valuable addition in the short and long term.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not lose sight of the 13 goals scored by Palacios, in addition to his 3 assists in 32 matches, which caught the attention of other clubs who also began to show interest in the player.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid may be ready to sell Palacios permanently while retaining the right to buy him back, as it did with Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon.
Loaning the young player to a team like Almeria could be an ideal opportunity for him to develop and gain experience in the world of professional football, while remaining under Real Madrid’s supervision in the long term.
Cesar Palacios’ future remains dependent on the position of Real Madrid, which is closely monitoring his development, but Cristiano Ronaldo has decided the matter for him, as he “wants to see the midfielder at Almeria FC next season.”
