Liverpool’s owners are making moves to buy a club in La Liga, and Getafe are the current favourites.
That’s according to Marca, who Liverpool owners the Fenway Sports Group are turning their attention to a multi-property model like Manchester City and the City Football Group.
The newspaper reports that the Liverpool ownership have been to get into La Liga for some time and the focus is now on Getafe as a result.
The fact that the Spanish side are building a new stadium, with construction just begun, has a Sports City, is a well-established team in La Liga and are in the Community of Madrid are the main reasons Fenway have looked at them. They consider the Spanish club ideal.
There’s also a belief that they are a club where Fenway could ‘sell promising players’.
There are also unlikely to be any roadblocks to a purchase as current president Ángel Torres has already made it clear he’ll be departing by December 2027. Construction of the stadium and its inauguration are expected by that point.
That, though, could be the one major problem as it seems Torres does not intend to leave before that 2027 date. It would, though, also give Fenway time to work the deal without any rush.
They’re certainly keen, with Marca reporting that FSG chairman Mike Gordon and company founder John W. Henry believe the future lies in models like the City Football Group.
