Cristiano Ronaldo Drops 6-Word Message for $3 Million Teammate, as He Follows Al Nassr Star’s $5,360,000 Path

The indomitable influence of Cristiano Ronaldo globally has gone through the roof. It’s a force that extends beyond adoring fans and even reaches his competitors. This time, in a remarkable turn of events, his $3 million rich ex-Manchester United teammate decided to tread the Portuguese superstar’s $5.36 million investment path which even enticed the soccer veteran to fire a six-word response.

Meanwhile, the Al Nassr star has been away from his domestic duties and is playing for his national team. Recently, he even reached the historic 125-goal milestone.

Cristiano Ronaldo sends a message to his teammate

Aside from impeccable soccer prowess, Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his astute business and creative mindset. Earlier, the forward came up with a new sports investment surrounding the concept of Padel Tennis. In fact, in order to boost the sport’s presence in his homeland, his company, known as SA, is set to construct 17 Padel courts on a piece of land covering approximately 15,000 square meters.

With an investment reaching as high as $5.36 million, this initiative will establish state-of-the-art sports facilities in the country. Now, Ronaldo’s Portuguese teammate Diogo Dalot has become the latest addition to invest in a Padel tennis court. The Manchester United man has invested in the Padel Athletic Club.

This was recently acknowledged by Cris, who posted the picture of the Padel court on his Instagram story. He wrote a five-word message saying, “Parabéns amigo @diegodalot, está top @padelathleticclub.” As translated by DeepL, it means “Congratulations friend @diegodalot, it’s top @padelathleticclub.” It seems Ronaldo is happy to see his national teammate following in his footsteps.

Notably, Dalot has been a part of Padel Athletic Club for a very long time. In fact, in his new Padel Athletic Center, he has also opened a playground for children aged 1-12 years named ‘Colibee Fun Park.’ Speaking about Padel, let’s dive deeper to know more about this sport.

What exactly is Padel tennis?

Padel tennis is a sport that prioritizes intelligence and strategic thinking as opposed to traditional tennis rules. It involves the use of a special racquet, and a low-compression tennis ball, and is played on a court enclosed by walls. The play is significantly smaller in size, about one-third the size of a standard tennis court. As a result, it’s a quick and relatively uncomplicated game to pick up and play.

Many notable tennis players have lent their endorsement to this sport, including Serena Williams, who introduced it a few months ago while displaying her new racquets. If adequately invested in, Padel tennis could potentially become the next big sensation in the sporting world. Notably, the game has seen a surge in popularity. Whether it achieves mainstream fame remains to be seen.
