Lionel Messi has agreed to buy the Spanish second-division club Eldense from the Colombian investment group TH Soluciones Group. The deal, which involves Messi taking full ownership of the club, is awaiting approval from the Spanish Council of Sport. The acquisition still needs to pass a due diligence process, which involves analyzing the club's financial and legal situation. This process is currently underway. The club, which has its home in Elda, in the province of Alicante, is currently in the second division of Spanish football, having returned to the league in the current season. The team is led by a new coach, following the departure of Claudio Barragán, who was demoted after starting the season with two losses and two draws in four games. The team is currently in 16th place in the second division, with five points. The transfer of control requires approval from the Spanish Council of Sport, a process that could take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
