[Saba Sports News] Previously, La Liga team Getafe was approached by the parent company of Premier League side Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group, for a potential acquisition. However, Getafe reportedly asked for as much as 160 million pounds, which caused Fenway Sports Group to pause the deal. Recently, according to insider information, Getafe’s president has lowered the asking price to 100 million pounds, allowing Fenway Sports Group to continue pursuing the acquisition plan. It is believed that Fenway Sports Group is interested in acquiring Getafe because they see the La Liga as one of Europe’s top football leagues, with great influence and commercial potential. Located in the Madrid region, Getafe’s strategic location makes it an ideal base for Fenway Sports Group to expand its influence in La Liga and the European football market, thereby increasing its global recognition and commercial value. The group hopes to follow the successful model of City Football Group, building a multi-club system centered around Liverpool. This will help integrate resources, improve scouting systems, and promote synergistic development among clubs, enhancing overall competitiveness and creating its own football business empire.
