Setting the Stage for La Liga Return: Ronaldo Acquires 25% of Almería, Owner Warms Up

Ronaldo is step by step nearing his 1000-goal landmark, yet his goal count in Europe's top five leagues remains one behind Messi's. Ronaldo stands at 495 goals in these leagues, compared to Messi's 496. Everyone recognizes Ronaldo's fierce competitive spirit. Although matching Messi's World Cup success is exceptionally difficult, surpassing his rival in top-five league goals is a target Ronaldo is fully capable of reaching.

Official news from Segunda División club Almería confirms that 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has acquired a 25% stake in the club, making him one of the club's owners.

Almería currently holds third place in the Segunda División, positioning them well for a potential promotion to La Liga next season. If Ronaldo were to depart from Al Nassr, joining his own club, Almería, could be an excellent move. This would allow him the opportunity to surpass Messi and become the all-time leading scorer in Europe's top five leagues.

Fans are joking that Almería's owner is warming up on the sidelines, with the coaching staff preparing to substitute in club owner Ronaldo himself. This scenario could genuinely unfold in La Liga next season. Since a return to Real Madrid seems unlikely, joining his own La Liga club might be the ultimate strategy for Ronaldo to make a comeback to top European football and secure the title of the top-five leagues' all-time scoring king.
