A rumor that has been causing a stir in public opinion recently is the possibility that Cristiano Ronaldo will buy back Valencia club.

The Portuguese superstar’s close relationship with club owner Peter Lim has sparked much speculation, but so far neither Ronaldo nor his team have made any official confirmation on the matter. Peter Lim has denied the reports, insisting that Valencia are not a club for sale.

Valencia are currently in a difficult situation, facing the threat of relegation and have a crucial match against Real Madrid this weekend. However, whether Ronaldo is really interested in owning a financially troubled team like Valencia remains an open question.

Ronaldo and Peter Lim’s relationship dates back to the superstar’s time at Real Madrid. Lim is said to be a close friend of Ronaldo, leading many to believe that there could be a collaboration between the two in buying Valencia. Some sources even suggest that Ronaldo could receive financial backing from Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman or an investment fund in the Middle Eastern country, which would help him take over the Spanish club.

The deal is a prerequisite for Valencia to stay in La Liga this season. The club has made significant changes in recent times, such as sacking coach Ruben Baraja and appointing Carlos Corberan, in an attempt to strengthen the squad. However, Valencia’s finances remain problematic, with a large debt and the Mestalla stadium still unfinished.

Journalist Julian Redondo recently asserted in his column that Cristiano Ronaldo could be “the next owner of Valencia if the team stays in the league”. Is this a bold move by the Portuguese superstar? Time will tell.
