The football legend has completed the purchase of the Spanish lower league club, adding to his existing ownership stake in another side competing outside the top flight. The acquisition marks Messi's continued diversification into club ownership as his playing career winds down.
Messi's investment strategy reflects a growing trend among retired and semi-retired elite athletes to build business empires in football management and ownership. The purchase underscores his long-term commitment to remaining involved in the sport beyond his playing days.
Details regarding the financial terms of the acquisition and the specific club's identity were not immediately disclosed. However, the move signals Messi's confidence in the lower divisions of Spanish football as a viable investment opportunity.
The Argentine footballer, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, has previously expressed interest in remaining connected to the sport through various business ventures. His expansion into club ownership positions him among a select group of footballing legends with significant stakes in professional teams.
