Lionel Messi is reported to be close to a deal to acquire Spanish second-tier club Eldense. Multiple outlets describe the move as part of his expanding involvement in football ownership beyond his playing career.
The reports connect the potential purchase to Messi’s recent retirement from international football with Argentina, noting that he is increasingly active in off-field investments. While the coverage consistently frames the Eldense acquisition as “nearing” or “closing in,” the articles do not provide new confirmed details such as final contract terms, the amount involved, or whether regulatory or league approvals have already been completed.
The differing angles across outlets are limited, with some emphasizing the proximity of the deal and others highlighting Messi’s broader portfolio of football ownership interests. However, all accounts focus on the same core development: Messi is in advanced talks to become associated with Eldense, a club competing in Spain’s second division.
