Lionel Messi, a 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. Sport24.az reports that the Catalan representative will be 100 percent owned by Messi.
This step by the footballer, who 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 greatest achievement in the history of the team was recorded on January 6, 2021, in the 1/32 final stage of the Copa del Rey. At that time, the team sensationally defeated Madrid's "Atletico" with a minimum score (1:0) in their home field. In the next stage of the tournament, "Cornella" faced "Barcelona". The team, which fought worthily in the game against its ambitious opponent, lost 0:2 only with goals conceded in extra time.
