Ronaldo, tras vender el Cruzeiro: “El Valladolid es el próximo”

São Paulo, 29 abr (EFE).- El exfutbolista brasileño Ronaldo Nazário de Lima insinuó este lunes que, tras vender el 90 % de las acciones del Cruzeiro a un empresario local, buscará desprenderse del Real Valladolid español, club que también controla.

“Voy a ser bien rápido (en la respuesta), el Valladolid es el próximo”, afirmó el exdelantero brasileño en una rueda de prensa junto con el nuevo propietario del Cruzeiro, Pedro Lourenço, al ser preguntado sobre el futuro de su participación en el conjunto blanquivioleta.

Ronaldo anunció este lunes que vendió el club de Belo Horizonte después de 2 años y 4 meses al frente del equipo en el que empezó a despuntar como jugador.

Ninguna de las partes divulgó el montante de la operación, aunque la prensa brasileña afirma que rondó los 600 millones de reales (casi 120 millones de dólares), lo que supone 200 millones de reales (40 millones de dólares) más que el valor que pagó por ese 90 % de las acciones en diciembre de 2021.

El campeón en el Mundial de Corea y Japón 2002 anticipó que, después del acuerdo alcanzado con Lourenço, piensa en tomarse un tiempo “sabático” hasta que “aparezca alguna cosa por ahí”, en aparente alusión a algún negocio que surja en su país natal.

“Probablemente en el futuro haré algo relacionado con la industria del fútbol, solo intentaré ser más responsable de aquí en delante en los próximos proyectos”, manifestó.

Ronaldo decidió comprar el Cruzeiro cuando este estaba en la segunda división del Campeonato Brasileño y “al borde” de la quiebra, con deudas por “1.300 millones de reales” (250 millones de dólares o 240 millones de euros al cambio de hoy).

Consiguió ascenderlo a la primera división, aunque el año pasado el cuadro celeste casi vuelve a perder la categoría, lo que empezó a generar un clima negativo hacia su figura como máximo dirigente del club.

Las críticas han seguido este año después de perder la final del Campeonato Mineiro ante el máximo rival, Atlético Mineiro, y del mal arranque en la fase de grupos de la Copa Sudamericana.

Asimismo, Ronaldo también ha sido cuestionado como presidente del Real Valladolid, que esta temporada está luchando por volver a la máxima categoría del fútbol español.
