Liverpool’s ownership group has decided to step back from pursuing the acquisition of a La Liga club. Recent reports, detailed by the Football Gazette Express, indicate that Fenway Sports Group (FSG)’s consideration of acquiring a controlling interest in Getafe has been halted. For some time, Manchester City, operating under the City Football Group, had demonstrated interest in acquiring a share of Getafe, alongside evaluating other Spanish clubs for this potential investment.
The initial focus included clubs such as Málaga and Girondins de Bordeaux before the attention shifted to Getafe. Getafe’s president and majority shareholder, Angel Torres, had previously voiced a willingness to sell the club, and discussions surrounding a potential 150 million euro agreement were reportedly underway. However, “The Athletic” has now confirmed that FSG has abandoned its plans to buy Getafe.
This decision represents a significant change in strategy for Liverpool, who had been exploring opportunities within the Spanish football landscape. The withdrawal from negotiations concerning getafe underscores a reassessment of the group’s investment priorities.
