Spanish second-division side C.D. Eldense said on
Wednesday that Argentine great Lionel Messi has reached an agreement
in principle to become the club's new owner.
The Inter Miami forward is close to completing a
deal to purchase 100% of the shares held by Colombian investment
group TH Soluciones Group S.A.S., the current majority
shareholder.
Messi, 39, is poised to become the majority
owner of a second club in Spain, after
the purchase of UE Cornella in Spain's fifth tier on
April 16 earlier this year.
He is also set to receive a stake in current club
Inter Miami after the expiry of his
playing contract. Reports in Spain on Tuesday said the
deal to purchase Eldense is expected to be completed in the
coming
days.
"At this time, the operation is pending
completion of the final legal and contractual procedures, including the
corresponding due diligence process, as well as the mandatory
authorisation from the High
Council for Sports (CSD)," Eldense told Reuters.
The club were unable to give a fixed date
for the completion of the deal. TH
Soluciones
Group have also been contacted for comment.
