Liverpool owners FSG ‘identify ideal LaLiga side to buy’ – as Premier League champions look to develop multi-club model

Liverpool‘s owners FSG have reportedly identified their ‘ideal club’ to buy in LaLiga as they press ahead with developing a multi-club network.

The Premier League champions have had their eye on acquiring a second football team, with the pursuit among the reasons Michael Edwards returned as FSG’s chief executive of football.

‘It was vital for me that, if I did return, it had to be with renewed vigour and energy,” Edwards said last year.  

‘In practice, this means having fresh challenges and opportunities. As such, one of the biggest factors in my decision is the commitment to acquire and oversee an additional club, growing this area of their organisation. 

‘I believe that to remain competitive, investment and expansion of the current football portfolio is necessary.’

Edwards was placed in charge of overseeing the identification of a second club, alongside former Boston Red Sox chief Theo Epstein.

Reports earlier this year suggested FSG were pursuing a deal to buy Malaga, before cooling their interest amid legal hurdles.

According to Marca, FSG have now targeted buying LaLiga club Getafe.

The report claims FSG believe Getafe are the ideal club after conducting feasibility studies of several clubs, including Levante, Elche, Espanyol, Valladolid, Malaga and Bordeaux.

Getafe’s status as an established top flight club, the potential to develop players and the club’s location in Madrid are reportedly among the factors in favour of the potential purchase.

The club are also in the middle of a stadium redevelopment, which will modernise and take their Estadio Coliseum ground to a 19,000 capacity.

Getafe’s owner Angel Torres, however, has claimed he will leave the club when the stadium redevelopment is complete in December 2027.

Getafe have been a LaLiga club for the past eight seasons and finished 13th in the 2024-25 campaign.

The multi-club ownership model became widely popular due to the success of City Football Group, which has included 13 teams with Man City at the centre. 

Several Premier League clubs have owners involved in multi-club networks, including Man United, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
