According to ESPN, 39-year-old Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi is working hard to develop his network of football clubs.. The legend of world football reached his former home ownership before the Spanish club Eldense, which also belongs to Segunda (another division of Spain) came under control..

Today's club is owned by the Colombian investment group Grupo TH, which also has assets in Colombia and Switzerland. In order to restore official status, the parties were required to complete the comprehensive verification procedure and remove the obligation of the National Sports Authority of Spain.

Once the process is completed successfully, Eldense will become another Spanish asset in Messi's portfolio. Before this fate, the Argentinean added a professional club to the fifth division Cornella from Barcelona. In addition, together with his long-time friend and teammate Luis Suarez, Messi takes part in the management of the Uruguayan club Deportivo LSM.

At the same time, the two clubs in Spain do not create legal barriers, and Eldensa and Cornell are divided into three divisions. Prote experts suggest what can be done to curb the future ambitions of Messiah de Cornellia. The Royal Spanish Football Federation strongly prohibits teams with one majority shareholder from earning money in the same league.

Eldense is a club with a hundred-year history, founded in 1921. The team spent most of its founding in the lower leagues of Spanish football. The 2023 team has surpassed the 1964 team by reaching another division.

After the game of 2025, last summer the team turned back to Segundi. The club is based in the town of Elda. Home matches take place at the modest Nuevo Pepico Amat stadium, which seats 5,776 spectators.

Messi (or his representatives) come to the club at a difficult time. The team failed to start the season, not winning four matches. Head coach Claudio Barragan was released for the first time.
