Real Valladolid’s majority shareholder, Ronaldo Nazario, has reached an agreement to sell the club to local construction firm Inexo, although the deal has not yet been signed. Ronaldo acquired a controlling stake in the club in 2018 for €30 million and has overseen two promotions and two relegations. The club is currently in Segunda, and Ronaldo has a strained relationship with the fans at the Nuevo Jose Zorrilla.
According to Cadena SER, Ronaldo signed a declaration of intent to sell the club to Inexo at the end of March, outlining the terms of the sale. The initial cost would be €28.7 million for 49% of the club, with an obligation to purchase the remaining 16.7% from Ronaldo between 2028 and 2030 for €10 million if the club is in Primera, or €5 million if it is in Segunda. The minimum total fee is €33.7 million.
This declaration is not binding, and Ronaldo is holding out for a potentially better offer. Notably, Valladolid is just two wins away from securing promotion back to La Liga as the Segunda season nears its end.
