Greenfood majority stake changes hands
Swedish investment firm Fidelio is set to buy Nordic Capital's majority stake in fresh-produce group Greenfood. Financial terms were not disclosed. Fidelio has held a minority stake in Greenfood for almost 15 years. A Greenfood spokesperson confirmed to Just Food that management and employees now hold the remaining minority shares. In a statement issued yesterday (28 July), Greenfood said the transaction will support its 'accelerated international expansion'. 'The company's capital structure, financial commitments and obligations remain unchanged,' it added. Greenfood, known for its 'healthy, affordable, and sustainable' food, operates in both Europe and the US. The Swedish company supplies fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as ready-made meals. It operates through three divisions: Fresh Produce, salad-bar business Picadeli and Food Solutions. Since 2016, when Nordic Capital became the majority shareholder, Greenfood said it has nearly doubled its revenues to Skr5.6bn ($580.3m). David von Laskowski, the CEO of Greenfood Group & Picadeli, said, 'As we turn this exciting page together with Fidelio, we are confident in our ability to further accelerate growth, foster innovation, and strengthen our positive impact.' The deal is slated for completion in the second half of the year, contingent on regulatory approvals and other standard closing conditions. Greenfood in its current form came about in 2015 through the merger of Picadeli and STC Greenfood. The following year, it was acquired by Stockholm-based private-equity firm Nordic Capital. In 2019, the company bought the fresh cut produce business of Finland's Apetit. The company supplies customers in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and the US, with sourcing operations in Spain.

Report – Inter Milan Reluctant To Offer Over €45M To Close Deal For Atalanta Forward
Inter Milan remain hopeful of signing Atalanta star Ademola Lookman, but will reportedly only agree to terms that suit them. According to La Repubblica via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri will not meet La Dea's €50 million asking price. Despite boasting a genuine interest in Ademola Lookman, the Serie A runners-up are unwilling to break the bank. Indeed, they had initially earmarked €40 million for landing the 27-year-old. However, after Atalanta rejected their opening bid, they're ready to revise their offer. Inter Milan Aiming to Close Ademola Lookman Deal on Their Terms DUBLIN, IRELAND – MAY 22: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta BC bites their winner's medal as he celebrates victory after the UEFA Europa League 2023/24 final match between Atalanta BC and Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Dublin Arena on May 22, 2024 in Dublin, Ireland.

Barcelona issue official update on captain's surgery
Barcelona have officially confirmed that Marc-Andre ter Stegen has undergone a second surgery to address his ongoing lower back issues. The operation was carried out on Tuesday in Bordeaux by renowned specialist Dr Amelie Leglise, with the club's medical team closely involved. While the procedure was deemed a success, Barça have, as expected, avoided offering a clear timeline for his return to action. In the club's official statement, they said: 'First-team player Marc ter Stegen has successfully undergone further surgery for his lower back problems, performed by Dr. Amelie Leglise under the supervision of the club's Medical Services at Sports Clinic Bordeaux Merignac. 'He is unavailable for selection, and his recovery will determine when he can return.' While no fixed recovery time has been shared by the club, the fact that they have stayed silent suggests the situation may be more serious than initially hoped. Facing uncertain future The German international had returned from his summer break feeling discomfort in his lower back and was unable to join his teammates for pre-season training. He also missed the club's Asian tour, instead focusing entirely on medical treatment. Ter Stegen had earlier taken to social media to reveal that he expected to be sidelined for around three months. However, La Liga rules state that a player must be unavailable for a minimum of four months before the club can repurpose 80% of their salary for new signings. Barça's decision not to mention any recovery timeline might indicate that his absence will exceed even his own estimation. The 2025/26 season poses significant challenges for Ter Stegen. The arrival of Joan Garcia means there will be stiff competition for the number one shirt. Moreover, with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Ter Stegen is fully aware that missing significant game time now could hurt his chances of making Germany's squad.
