Lionel Messi bought a Spanish football club

Lionel Messi Takes Ownership Stake in Spanish Club

Lionel Messi, the celebrated Argentinian soccer legend, has expanded his sporting interests with a significant investment in a Spanish football club. The 38-year-old, currently playing for Inter Miami in the United States, has become a part-owner of Cornellà, a club competing in the fifth tier of the Spanish league. Cornellà, based in Catalonia, has a history within the Spanish football landscape.

Messi’s acquisition marks a notable step beyond his professional soccer career, demonstrating a continued engagement with the sport. Previously, Messi led Barcelona to four Champions League titles and secured ten domestic Spanish championships. The ownership stake in Cornellà reflects a desire to remain connected to his roots and the sport he has dominated for so long.

Details regarding the exact percentage of ownership held by Messi remain undisclosed. This move follows Messi’s relocation to Inter Miami earlier this year. Further information regarding the club’s future strategy and Messi’s potential involvement will likely be released in the coming weeks.
