The Spanish club issued a press release stating that more details about the owner's change will appear the next few days.
This operation is subject to administrative authorization from the Superior Council of Sport, in accordance with the regulations in force.
Valladolid also relegated after the 2020-21 season, but also at the end of season 2022-23. The white-violets immediately returned to the first division, spending only a year in the second League.
Miodrag Belodedici, the double winner of the European Champions Cup with Steaua București and Red Steaua Belgrade, is the only Romanian player to evolve at Real Valladolid, playing for them only one season (1994-1995). And that season, Real Valladolid relegated, ending in the 19th place, but was repressed in La Liga, because the Spanish Federation then decided to increase the number of teams from 20 to 22.
