CD Eldense announced on
Thursday that Messi has agreed to buy 100% of the club, pending approval from
Spain's sports council. The Argentine star aims to build a long-term project
focused on sporting success, community ties, and growth for the 1921-founded
team from Elda, Alicante.
This adds to his ownership of fifth-tier UE
Cornellá and creates buzz for a potential Messi-Ronaldo rivalry when the teams
meet on May 2, 2027. Fans are excited, seeing it as a fresh boost for the
struggling side and a sign of stars investing in football's future.
