Lionel Messi Nears Acquisition of Spanish Second-Division Club CD Eldense
Lionel Messi is nearing a deal to acquire Spanish second-division club CD Eldense from Colombian investment group TH Soluciones Group, pending approval from Spain's High Council for Sports. This would mark Messi's second football club ownership in Spain, following his purchase of fifth-tier UE Cornella earlier this year. Eldense, based in Alicante, has recently returned to the Segunda División but started the season poorly, leading to the sacking of their manager. Messi also holds a stake in Inter Miami, where he currently plays.
