A growing trend in world football sees former and active players increasingly becoming club owners, extending their influence long after their playing days. The latest reports suggest Sergio Ramos is nearing a deal to acquire a stake in his boyhood club, Sevilla.
This movement includes some of the sport’s biggest names:
· Active Players: Kylian Mbappé holds a stake in French side Caen.
· Global Icons: Cristiano Ronaldo is linked to Al-Nassr’s ownership, while David Beckham is a lead figure at MLS’s Inter Miami.
· Club Ownership: Ronaldo NazĂ¡rio owns Real Valladolid, and Gerard PiquĂ© owns FC Andorra.
· Partial Stakes: Players like Luka Modrić (Swansea City), Zlatan Ibrahimović (Hammarby), Didier Drogba (Phoenix Rising FC), N’Golo KantĂ© (Royal Excelsior Virton), and Thierry Henry (Como 1907) hold ownership interests in various clubs.
This expanding list highlights a strategic shift, with elite footballers using their capital and fame to secure long-term roles in the sport’s business side, shaping the future of clubs from the boardroom.
