Cristiano Ronaldo's UD Almeria sells forward Marko Milovanovic to Portsmouth

Cristiano Ronaldo has officially approved another significant off-pitch move, as UD Almeria—the Spanish club in which he holds a 25 percent stake—completes the sale of striker Marko Milovanovic to EFL Championship side Portsmouth.

Transfer Details

UD Almeria confirmed the permanent transfer of Serbian forward Marko Milovanovic via the club's official website. The 23-year-old joined Almeria ahead of the 2022/23 season and spent three years with the club.

Milovanovic impressed during a loan spell with Portuguese side FC Alverca last season, scoring nine goals in Portugal's top flight before securing his move to English football.

Almeria thanked the striker for his professionalism and commitment during his time at the club and wished him success in England.

Ronaldo's Recent Off-Pitch Activity

The transfer comes amid a busy period for Ronaldo, who has remained in headlines following Portugal's Round of 16 exit at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After the defeat to Spain, Ronaldo confirmed it was his final World Cup but later clarified he has not yet retired from international football.

Earlier this year, Ronaldo completed the purchase of a 25 percent stake in UD Almeria, and several key decisions have since been made ahead of the new campaign.

Almeria's Summer Preparations

The departure of Milovanovic is part of a broader restructuring at Almeria. The club has already secured experienced goalkeeper and club captain Fernando Martinez on a new contract through 2027, ensuring a key leader remains part of the project.

With arrivals and departures continuing, Ronaldo's club is pressing ahead with its long-term plans before the transfer window closes.

What This Means for Portsmouth

Portsmouth will hope Milovanovic's recent form in Portugal can strengthen their attacking options as they prepare for another demanding Championship campaign.
