Lionel Messi is reportedly set to become the majority owner of Spanish second-division club CD Eldense. Spanish sports daily AS reports that Messi has reached a basic agreement to take over 100% of the club’s shares, with the deal involving Colombian investment group TH.
Other coverage similarly says the agreement is in principle, with remaining steps before any final takeover. Times of India notes that due diligence is ongoing and that approval from relevant Spanish sports authorities is still required to complete the transaction. Both outlets describe this as part of Messi’s expanding investment in football clubs, following earlier involvement in Spanish football through another acquisition earlier this year.
At this stage, the reporting indicates a planned change in ownership rather than a completed purchase. The timing and final terms depend on the conclusion of due diligence and regulatory clearance.
