Cristiano Ronaldo entered the media industry through the investment group Expressão Livre to which he belongs, acquiring companies that manage well-known Portuguese media such as Correio da Manhã, Record and Jornal de Negócios.
Specifically, Expressão Livre acquired Cofina Media, a subsidiary of the Cofina Group that manages these media.
In a statement sent to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), Cofina Group reported that it had terminated its relationship with the subsidiary following the transfer of ownership of Cofina Media shares to the investor group.
Expressão Livre is made up of several investors, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a history of friction with Cofina Media but expressed interest in joining its management in the middle of this year.
On October 26, the media consortium’s shareholders approved the sale of all shares in Cofina Media to Expressão Livre, which, according to Jornal de Negócios, offered 56.8 million euros for the shares.
The history of friction between the 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and the Correio da Manhã TV channel goes back many years and has even gone to court.
The most notorious incident occurred during Portugal’s win at Euro 2016, when a journalist from the team approached Cristiano during the team’s morning walk, before a Saudi Al-Nasser player snatched the microphone from his hand and threw it Throw it into the lake.
The footballer even took the report to court twice, in 2011 and 2015.
“I have no respect for that newspaper because it keeps creating news, creating controversy, creating bad relationships, bad team atmosphere. He has been constantly attacking the team since I entered the national team,” Cristia No said in 2014.
Also in March 2023, Cristiano did not allow online reporters to ask him questions at a press conference, which triggered a protest from the local journalists association. (Four)
