Lionel Messi has entered into a preliminary agreement to become the majority shareholder of CD Eldense, a club currently competing in Spain’s second division. The 39-year-old Inter Miami captain is close to finalizing a deal to acquire 100 percent of the shares held by TH Soluciones Group SAS. This move follows his acquisition of UE Cornellà, a Barcelona-based club, earlier this year. The transition remains subject to legal, contractual, and regulatory procedures, including authorization from the High Council for Sports. While the club sits in 20th place with two points from four matches, league salary limit rules will restrict the amount of financial investment Messi can direct toward the squad.
