Ronaldo Nazário is on the verge of arriving as an investor in São Paulo football.

This Tuesday (31), Enrico Ambrogini, who was part of Cruzeiro’s SAF alongside R9, will officially present a proposal to Inter de Limeira’s Deliberative Council to take over the management of the São Paulo club’s football operations.

According to ge, the project has Ronaldo’s direct backing, and he could become a shareholder if the deal moves forward.

The move gained attention after Ambrogini posted a photo holding an Inter shirt alongside the legendary national team striker, who was part of Brazil’s World Cup-winning squads in 1994 and 2002.

The executive celebrated the opportunity to invest in the city of his grandparents and made a point of stressing that “he is not alone in this.”

In the comments, Ronaldo confirmed the partnership with an excited “Let’s go, Lion!”.

The project is ambitious and focused on the long term. The proposal предусматривает a total investment of R$ 454 million over 10 years, with the main goal of taking Inter de Limeira to the top tier of the Brazilian Championship within eight years.

For the initial two-year period (2026-2027), the financial injection would be up to R$ 20 million.

This initial amount will be used to strengthen the professional squad, structure the youth academy, modernize administration and technology, as well as renovate the training center and Limeirão stadium.

Enrico Ambrogini gained national prominence as operations director of Cruzeiro’s SAF in 2022, the year the Minas Gerais club secured promotion to Série A.

After that, he was CEO of Figueirense and general football director at Sport.

Now, the duo’s attention turns to Inter de Limeira, which will make its debut in Brazil’s Série C next Sunday against Floresta.
