Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Brazil icon Ronaldo is loving his new role as majority shareholder of La Liga club Real Valladolid.

The legendary forward purchased a 51 per cent share in the Spanish top-flight club earlier this month, reportedly shelling out a sum of £27.4m.

And the 42-year-old, who will serve on the board of directors, believes the Castile and Leon-based side will go on to new heights and become a talked about name under his influence.
