The news on which Spain speculated for several months therefore occurred a few weeks after the club's relegation in the second division. In a press release, Real Valladolid has just announced that an agreement has been signed to “The transfer of the club's majority participation in a North American investment group with the financial support of a European fund.” The press release also specifies that the operation is awaiting authorization from the CSD (Superior Sports Council), thus respecting the regulations in force.
This puts an end to almost seven years of presidency of Ronaldo Nazário in Real Valladolid, during which he was relegated three times and promoted twice, without succeeding in carrying out his inheritance: establishing the club in the first division and enlarging the training complex, not to mention its exaggerated optimism by predicting that the team could compete in the Champions League. An estimated sale around 40 million euros.
