Messi becomes the majority owner of Spanish club Eldense
The deal gives Messi control of a second Spanish club this year as Eldense seeks a lift in a relegation fight, officials said.
- Lionel Messi has become the majority owner of Club Deportivo Eldense, pending regulatory approval from the CSD. The former Inter Miami player completes his acquisition of the Spanish second-tier club.
- Last month, the former Argentina and Barcelona forward agreed to acquire all shares of Eldense from a Colombian investment group, subject to authorization under Spanish Sports Law. The transaction requires regulatory clearance.
- This purchase is Messi's second in Spain this year, following his April acquisition of Cornella. Eldense, founded in 1921, boasts more than 100 years of history as a Spanish institution.
- Eldense currently sits 19th in the league after four losses in seven matches, fighting to avoid relegation. The club hopes Messi's arrival can spark a turnaround in fortunes.
- Aiming to consolidate its position in professional football, Eldense seeks to boost its sporting, institutional, and social development. The project emphasizes projecting the club's history and roots during this new stage.
