Messi becomes the majority owner of Spanish club Eldense
Lionel Messi has finalized his acquisition of Spanish second-tier football club CD Eldense, subject to regulatory clearance, according to the club's announcement on Thursday. The 39-year-old football legend, who now owns a second club in Spain after his April purchase of UE Cornella, assumed the majority ownership of Eldense following the sale of its shares to a Colombian investment group.
CD Eldense, founded in 1921, confirmed the deal on their website, marking a new chapter in the club's history that spans over a century. Currently sitting 19th in the Segunda Division with four losses in their last seven matches, Eldense hopes Messi's investment will provide a much-needed boost to aid their fight to avoid relegation.
