<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sports">Spanish La Liga club</a> Getafe is considering a sale, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/06/17/liverpool-owners-buying-la-liga-getafe/">per</a> The Telegraph. 
On the buyside is Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the Boston-based firm <a href="https://www.anfieldwatch.co.uk/liverpool-fc/news/liverpool-fsg-worst-owners-major-league-baseball-boston-red-sox/">led</a> by billionaire John W. Henry. FSG already owns Liverpool FC, the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Penguins. 
Ángel Torres, Getafe's current owner, intends to leave the club once he renovates Estadio Coliseum. The club expects the project to wrap by December 2027. That timing could suit FSG, which is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6244860/2025/04/01/malaga-fsg-deal-liverpool/">rumored</a> to be &#8220;tight with the purse strings.&#8221;
In recent years, FSG has sought outside investors like RedBird Capital to help finance its expansion efforts. 
This interest also connects to a major restructuring of FSG's football division in 2024. That shuffle paved the way for Michael Edwards' <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39714152/liverpool-owners-fsg-confirm-michael-edwards-return-set-up">return</a> as football CEO.
