According to El Larguero, Valladolid are in debt to the tune of €25m and Ronaldo’s plans for the club helped him beat out bigger offers from China and Latin America.
“We want to build the best team possible to compete and will be transparent in our management,” Ronaldo said.
“Trust us to consolidate Real Valladolid in La Liga and for us to be able to grow the enthusiasm that there is.
