Lionel Messi set to become new owner of Spanish club CD Eldense, investing in football community in Spain after majority of his career there.
The former Barcelona star, who spent the majority of his career in Spain, is close to purchasing 100% of the shares of CD Eldense, a Spanish second-tier club. This move is seen as a way for Messi to give back to the community that nurtured him during his playing days.
Messi, who has already invested in several other football clubs, including Inter Miami FC in Major League Soccer, has expressed his desire to invest in Spanish football. His involvement with CD Eldense is expected to bring significant financial and marketing support to the club.
CD Eldense, based in Elda, a small town in the region of Murcia, Spain, has a rich history of producing talented players. With Messi’s ownership, the club is likely to attract more attention and investment, which could potentially lead to promotions to higher divisions of Spanish football.
The acquisition is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, pending regulatory approvals.
