Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are actively expanding their business ventures into football club ownership. Messi has acquired significant stakes in Spanish clubs UE Cornellà (85.05%) and CD Eldense (100%, pending authorization), focusing on lower-division teams and youth development. He also holds a minority stake in Uruguayan club Deportivo LSM and has an option to acquire a stake in Inter Miami after his playing career. His brother, Matías Messi, presides over Leones de Rosario, an AFA-affiliated club. Cristiano Ronaldo, through CR7 Sports Investments, purchased a 25% stake in Spanish Segunda División club UD Almería. While a shareholding relationship with Saudi club Al-Nassr is mentioned, its terms are not fully confirmed. Messi's strategy involves multiple confirmed projects across different countries, whereas Ronaldo's primary confirmed investment is Almería.
