Messi to buy second Spanish lower league club
Argentina legend Lionel Messi agrees deal to buy Spanish second-tier club Eldense, expanding his football ownership portfolio after retiring.
Argentina superstar Lionel Messi is set to become the majority owner of Spanish second-division club Eldense, the 39-year-old announced on Thursday. The agreement with current owners Grupo TH Soluciones is still in the works, pending final legal and contractual procedures. CD Eldense, located near Alicante, will become Messi's second football club ownership venture following his acquisition of fourth-tier Cornella in April.
The 39-year-old, who plays for Inter Miami and retired from Argentina's national team after their World Cup final loss to Spain, will officially report any updates once the necessary authorisations are obtained from the Spanish Sports Council. Eldense, founded in 1921, is currently unable to provide specific financial details or a set completion date for the transaction.
