FSG Drops Getafe Takeover Bid, Reports Say

Spanish reports cite La Liga spending limits as incompatible with FSG’s player‑development model.

Overview

  • Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are reported to have ended talks to buy Getafe, with the claims originating from Marca and relayed by Football España and the Mirror.
  • La Liga’s salary limit framework is said to have constrained the short‑term transfer and wage investment FSG wanted to make at the club.
  • Reporting also points to Getafe’s relatively veteran squad, with an average age near 28, as a poor fit for FSG’s focus on developing younger players.
  • FSG had completed due diligence in September after months of discussions with president Ángel Torres, with figures discussed above £100m and Spanish reports referencing up to £114m.
  • Getafe remains on the market under Torres, while FSG’s search for a European partner club continues with no official confirmation of the withdrawal from either party.
