💣Bombshell: Messi one step away from buying a Spanish club | OneFootball

Argentine star Lionel Messi is in very advanced negotiations to acquire 100% of the shares of CD Eldense, a club that currently plays in Spain’s Segunda División. The deal between his representatives and the investment group led by Juan Carlos Trujillo is awaiting legal formalities and approval from the Higher Sports Council.

His second club on the Iberian Peninsula

If the agreement is finalized in the coming days, the Elda-based team (Alicante) will become the footballer’s second property in Spanish football, following his previous investment in UE Cornellà.

Business growth in professional football

The Alicante side, which plays its matches at the Nuevo Pepico Amat Stadium, recently secured its return to the second tier. This move will cement Messi’s expansion as an investor in the sports industry.
