Key Takeaways:
Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the American investment company that owns Liverpool, is reportedly interested in acquiring Spanish club Getafe, according to AS.
The source states that FSG has been drawn to the recently approved project for the reconstruction of Getafe’s stadium and the club’s clear development plan. The proximity of the team to Spain’s capital Madrid also plays a role in their interest.

Back in July 2024, FSG announced that they were in negotiations to acquire French side Bordeaux. However, the deal fell through due to complications related to the stadium lease. Alongside Liverpool, FSG also owns Major League Baseball’s Boston Red Sox and the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
It is worth noting that the move could signal FSG’s intent to emulate the strategy used by Manchester City’s owners. City Football Group currently controls several teams across different countries, including Girona in Spain, Troyes in France, and Lommel in Belgium.
Getafe ended the 2024/25 La Liga season in 13th place with 42 points, finishing just 2 points above the relegation zone.
