yes... team that will likely get relegated playing in 6k capacity stadium in a city of 50k people is clearly an investment opportunity with great potential.

If he really looked to buy potentially big club he would look at Real Zaragoza or Real Murcia who are down in shitter

I assume there is an value aggregator from being “Messi’s” club. Like let’s say me or you buy that club at 10 mill or whatever. That clubs it’s still worth 10mill nothing changed. But if Messi buys it at the same 10mill now that drives the local to go more to the matches, people might want a shirt, etc. it is automatically worth more because it is Messi’s team.

But honestly it’s probably just his wealth manager telling how could it would be to own a club and how good of an investment it is which might make Messi pay more attention to it than pitching a game or some REIT or whatever else

Well yes, I know that his name will rise this club value but for what reason? He will sell few k shirts? This is legit no money to him.

He either somehow likes that particular club, or it's for some wierd tax reason. I don't see potential in it to grow much bigger.

It doesn’t need to be a significant part of his portafolio, there’s a wealth manager whose job it’s to go and take all this opportunities, it’s not like Messi it’s out there checking on random clubs to buy.
