FSG Discuss Potential Getafe Takeover as Part of European Growth
FSG Eyes Getafe in Strategic Multi-Club Play Long-Term Vision Behind Expansion Push Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the American owners of Liverpool FC, are deep in negotiations over a potential staged takeover of Getafe CF, according to Tribuna, citing The Athletic. This prospective move underscores FSG's ambition to build a multi-club empire in Europe and further afield, leveraging their established sporting footprint to generate long-term value and on-pitch success. The discussions, described as ongoing but not yet conclusive, reflect a significant moment in FSG's evolution as a sports ownership powerhouse. Getafe's valuation drop, from £160 million to nearer £100 million, has seemingly reopened a previously shut door. While Getafe president Angel Torres initially dismissed the club as not being for sale, multiple insiders suggest it has been available for the right offer for some time. Edwards Leads Multi-Club Charge The return of Michael Edwards as FSG's CEO of Football has accelerated Liverpool's ownership group's intent to add another European side. Edwards, pivotal in Liverpool's resurgence under former manager Jürgen Klopp, is now tasked with identifying strategic acquisitions. His influence is already apparent. 'To remain competitive, investment and expansion of the current football portfolio is necessary,' Edwards said earlier this year. That line now carries more weight as FSG look to plant a flag in La Liga, with Getafe positioned as a prime candidate. Getafe's Appeal for a Modern Football Empire Getafe's status is quietly impressive. Based just south of Madrid, the club has spent 21 of the last 22 seasons in Spain's top division and has carved out a niche as a well-run, mid-table force known for talent development and resilience. Their previous runs to the Europa League only add to their appeal as a smart, scalable acquisition. Torres, at 73, remains committed to the club's development and infrastructure. His vision includes overseeing the renovation of Coliseum Alfonso Perez by 2028, suggesting he is not desperate to sell. However, FSG's multi-club vision and established rapport with Torres may offer a compelling path forward. Strategic Patience Amid Global Interest FSG's hunt for growth extends beyond Spain. They have previously held talks with Bordeaux and Málaga and explored markets in Brazil. Still, Getafe's combination of location, history and operational stability places them top of the current shortlist. 'FSG routinely engages in conversations and evaluates opportunities across global sports, a common process to assess ventures that align with the organization's strategic priorities,' a spokesperson said. As Liverpool look to compete with the likes of City Football Group and Red Bull's global web, a successful move for Getafe could be more than an investment. It might just be a statement. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis Excited Liverpool Fan Reaction This move by FSG is both exciting and overdue. Watching Manchester City and Red Bull's multi-club operations yield results has made it clear that success at the top level now requires more than a single team focus. Liverpool have always been a proud standalone club, but football is evolving and this step is a necessary modernisation. Michael Edwards' involvement adds a level of trust for fans. His recruitment record speaks for itself, and if he sees value in a club like Getafe, then it's likely a smart fit. Getafe's La Liga experience, youth development and location near Madrid offer Liverpool a foothold in a major European market. Some fans will worry that resources might be stretched, or that Liverpool could become a 'feeder' in some sense, but that misunderstands the model. It's about synergy, not dilution. Players needing game time, pathways for academy stars, and even cross-league commercial opportunities could benefit Liverpool massively. Of course, Torres' hesitation means this may take time. But given FSG's patience and strategic mindset, that might suit all parties. This is not about flashy purchases, it's about sustainable football growth. With smart leadership, Getafe could be the perfect partner for the next phase of Liverpool's journey.

Luis Gil lined up to make season debut Sunday for Yankees after latest Triple-A rehab outing
NEW YORK — Luis Gil is expected to make his season debut for the New York Yankees on Sunday at Miami after missing four months with a lat strain. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year struck out seven over 4 1/3 innings Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Gil threw 50 of 75 pitches for strikes, allowing one run and three hits in his fourth minor league rehabilitation start. Injured in spring training, the right-hander is lined up to return this weekend against the Marlins after pitching 14 1/3 innings in the minors. 'I think that's the plan right now,' manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 on Tuesday night. Gil began facing hitters on June 21, when he threw 20 pitches of live batting practice at Yankee Stadium, and made his first rehab start July 13 for Double-A Somerset. 'I think for the most part, get through it hopefully successfully, and strike-throwing and carrying his stuff throughout the outing,' Boone said. 'You want to see those things, but we're also mindful of it that in a lot of ways it's spring training for him and building up. 'So there's definitely that next level of competitive juices and adrenaline that'll be flowing once he gets back up here.' Gil stopped a bullpen session on Feb. 28 because of tightness in his pitching shoulder. He went to New York for a second MRI that revealed a high-grade lat strain on March 3. He was shut down from throwing for at least six weeks after receiving the original diagnosis, and at the time the Yankees said he would not return until June at the earliest. On April 16 , the Yankees said Gil's throwing program would be delayed for about 10 days. The 27-year-old Gil went 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts for the AL East champions last year, striking out 171 and walking a major league-high 77 in 151 2/3 innings. Acquired from the Minnesota Twins in a 2018 trade, Gil made a successful return from Tommy John surgery and threw eight more innings in a pair of postseason starts as the Yankees reached the World Series for the first time since 2009. ___ AP MLB:
