This development was confirmed by the club in a press release on Tuesday. Müller and Hummels, along with Yann Sommer and Lucas Hernández, have acquired 90 percent of the club’s shares. The previous owner, believed to have purchased the club in 2020 for €72,000, is reportedly receiving €40 million from the investor group, marking the most substantial sale of a Portuguese club. Additionally, Johannes Mösmang, who previously served as player manager at FC Bayern Munich, will assume the role of president at Estrela da Amadora. This move comes as the investor group aims to prioritize infrastructure, youth development, and competitive growth while respecting the club’s history and identity.",
