Reports: Lionel Messi Nears Takeover of Spanish Club CD Eldense

Lionel Messi is reportedly close to buying CD Eldense, a Spanish second-tier club based in Elda, Alicante. The proposed deal would see him acquire the shares held by the club’s majority owner, subject to approval from Spain’s High Council for Sports. Eldense are currently struggling near the bottom of the Segunda División after a poor start to the season. The club recently dismissed manager Claudio Barragán after taking two points from their opening four league matches. The reported move would further expand Messi’s involvement in football ownership beyond his playing career. However, no official confirmation of the Eldense takeover has been announced.
