The Argentine player Lionel Messi reached an agreement to buy a football team from the Spanish second division. The club in question is CD Eldense, which plays in the Spanish Segunda División B.
Messi will be the sole owner of the club, thus taking full control of the sports society. This investment represents one of Messi's first significant business ventures off the pitch, after his career as a professional player.
The agreement comes at a time when Messi remains involved with Inter Miami in the United States, where he has been playing since 2023. The acquisition of Eldense suggests a growing interest from the Argentine in the European football business.
CD Eldense is a historic club from the province of Alicante, with a long tradition in Spanish football. Messi's arrival as owner can represent a significant boost for the club's sporting and commercial ambitions.
