Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have entered talks regarding a potential staged takeover of Spanish LaLiga club Getafe, according to multiple reports. FSG is in discussions with Getafe president Angel Torres about acquiring a controlling stake in the club, which would expand FSG’s football portfolio beyond Liverpool. The proposed takeover is described as a staged process and could be valued at around £100 million.
This move would mark FSG’s return to pursuing ownership of a LaLiga side, positioning them to have influence in both the English Premier League and Spanish top flight. Getafe, based just outside Madrid, has been under Angel Torres’s ownership for several years, and the talks indicate his willingness to negotiate a deal that brings FSG in as majority owners while potentially retaining a role for himself.
The staged takeover structure would allow FSG to gradually increase their ownership share and operational control of Getafe. The negotiations suggest an intent to leverage synergies between the two clubs, possibly sharing scouting networks, commercial partnerships, and operational expertise. This follows FSG's broader strategy of building a global football group with presence in multiple major markets.
Details on the timeline for completion of the deal remain unclear, as negotiations continue. However, this development shows FSG’s ambition to expand their footprint in European football and to capitalize on opportunities within Spain's competitive league system. It is an important strategic initiative as FSG looks to diversify and strengthen its football investments.
The talks were first reported in late July 2025 and have been confirmed by sources close to both parties. If successful, the takeover would represent one of the significant cross-border investments in football club ownership in recent years, linking Premier League and LaLiga clubs under common ownership.
