Lionel Messi, the living legend of world football, is preparing to become a club owner. The Argentine star is buying the "Cornella" club, which plays in the third division of Spain.
İdman.Biz reports that the Catalan representative will be 100 percent owned by Messi.
This move by the football player, who has played for "Barcelona" for many years and has close ties with the region, is considered a strategic move both in terms of sports and investment.
It should be noted that the "Cornella" club is known for nurturing young talents and its strong academy. The biggest achievement in the team's history was recorded on January 6, 2021 in the 1/32 final stage of the King's Cup. At that time, the team sensationally defeated Madrid "Atletico" with a minimum score (1:0) in their home ground. In the next stage of the tournament, "Cornella" faced "Barcelona". The team, which fought a worthy fight against its ambitious opponent, lost 0:2 only with goals conceded in extra time.
