Messi to buy second Spanish lower league club
Eldense will become Lionel Messi's second venture into Spanish football ownership, having bought fourth-tier Cornella in April.
Argentina football star Lionel Messi is on the verge of acquiring majority ownership of CD Eldense, a Spanish lower league club, according to recent reports. Eldense, based near Alicante, will be Messi's second Spanish football club ownership venture, following their acquisition of fourth-tier club Cornella in April. The 39-year-old, currently playing for Inter Miami and having retired from international duty following Argentina's loss to Spain in the World Cup final, has reached an agreement in principle with the current owners of CD Eldense to purchase their shares held by Grupo TH Soluciones.
However, the transfer is still pending the completion of final legal and contractual procedures, including a due diligence process and authorisation from the Spanish Sports Council (CSD). The club has not disclosed the financial terms of the deal or a definitive completion date, as the process is not yet finalized. Upon completion of these steps and obtaining the necessary authorisations, CD Eldense will provide an update on the situation. CD Eldense, established in 1921, confirmed the news on Thursday.
