American company Fenway Sports Group, owners of Liverpool, have terminated negotiations over the acquisition of Spanish La Liga side Getafe, according to Marca.
Sources report that FSG withdrew from talks due to the conditions imposed by the Spanish league, particularly the strict financial fair play requirements, which would have significantly complicated the club's potential management. Another key factor was Getafe president Ángel Torres's decision to increase the club's valuation, which clashed with Fenway Sports Group's financial strategy. The group had planned to invest around £115 million as part of an overall growth strategy.
Earlier reports indicated that FSG intended to build its own international multi-club network, following the Red Bull model, with Getafe being considered as a potential component. At various times, the group also showed interest in other European clubs, including Bordeaux and Malaga, but ultimately deemed the risks to be excessive in each case.
