Lionel Messi becomes majority owner of Club Deportivo Eldense

The Argentine superstar is about to write himself into Spanish football history for the second time in a short time.

According to information to the newspaper, Messi has reached an agreement in principle with Eldense’s current owners to take over as the majority owner of the club, which plays in La Liga Hypermotion. If the deal goes through, this will be the first time “the little magician” owns a professional club in Spain.

And he is no newcomer to the ownership side. Just a few months ago, he also secured Unió Esportiva Cornellà.

Completes the deal in a matter of days

The transition is expected to be completed in the next few days, once the final legal and contractual details are in place. Among other things, an extensive audit process – a so-called due diligence – must be completed before everything can be signed.

The agreement must also be approved by Spain’s highest sports authority, the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD).

Heavy start for the club

Eldense has had a tough start to the season in La Liga Hypermotion and stands with only two points so far. Now Messi’s involvement can give both club and supporters a long-awaited boost – both sportingly and financially.
