Lionel Messi has reached a preliminary agreement on September 9, 2026, to acquire the majority shareholding stake in Spanish second-division club CD Eldense from corporate entity Grupo TH Soluciones. The preliminary accord initiates a formal due diligence window and legal transition process before final regulatory execution in Alicante.

La Liga 2 Operational Realignment and Competitive Outlook for CD Eldense
The ownership transition intersects with an immediate operational restructuring at the Alicante-based side following the departure of head coach Claudio Barragan. Eldense sit 20th in the 22-team La Liga 2 table after securing two points from their opening four league fixtures. Structural stabilization across the first-team squad remains the immediate priority as regulatory filings move toward final authorization.
