Lionel Messi reached an agreement to buy a Spanish Second Division club. The Argentine forward is preparing to become the majority shareholder of Eldense, a club that plays in the second division of Spanish football.
The agreement between Messi and the Spanish club represents a significant investment by the Argentine player in European football. This operation marks a new phase in Messi's career off the pitch, after he recently left Paris Saint-Germain.
Eldense is a club with a modest history in Spanish football, but has been trying to establish itself in the professional divisions of the country. Messi's entry as majority shareholder could bring greater visibility and financial resources to the club.
This is not Messi's first foray into the world of sports business, but it represents his first direct investment in owning a European club. The operation is generating great excitement in the football world.
