Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Liverpool, are reportedly taking serious steps towards buying a football club in Spain’s La Liga. This move is part of their broader plan to grow their presence in European football.
This potential purchase shows FSG’s ambition to build a multi-club network, a popular trend among top football investors. By acquiring a team in another major European league, they can share resources, scout more widely, and develop players across different environments.
🌍 Expanding Their Football Family
FSG has been the majority owner of Liverpool since 2010, a period which has seen the club achieve great success. Now, the group is looking to expand its influence beyond the Premier League. Their long-term goal is to build a network of clubs across Europe to strengthen their overall football operations.
🎯 Getafe Emerges as a Key Target
Reports suggest that La Liga side Getafe is the club FSG is interested in. It is understood that the group has already done its research (“due diligence”) on a potential takeover. This isn’t their first attempt to expand; FSG previously considered buying French club Toulouse in 2024, though that deal did not happen.
👥 The Team Behind the Plan
The push to acquire a new club is being led by key figures within FSG’s football division. CEO Michael Edwards, technical director Julian Ward, and director of football development Pedro Marques are said to be the main people driving this European expansion strategy.
