Overview

  • FSG is negotiating a phased acquisition of Getafe CF valued at about €116 million, down from an initial asking price near €185 million.
  • Talks aim to begin with a minority shareholding before FSG takes full control to integrate the Madrid club into its multi-club network.
  • Officials say the partnership will offer a pathway for Liverpool to develop under-18 and non-UK eligible talents at LaLiga level.
  • The approach forms part of a broader scouting overhaul led by chief football executive Michael Edwards and advisor Theo Epstein.
  • Getafe, managed by José Bordalás, secured 13th place in LaLiga last season and is investing in a stadium refurbishment to boost its capacity to about 19,000.
