Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are taking concrete steps to expand their football empire.
Spanish top-flight side Getafe now emerging as a serious target as per reports by Spanish outlet AS.
The move comes as part of FSG’s wider ambition to build a multi-club model similar to Manchester City’s Football Group.
Following their failed attempt to purchase Malaga, FSG have reportedly turned their attention to Getafe.
A club seen as a promising investment thanks to its strong La Liga presence and potential for player development and resale.

FSG expansion strategy laid bare
Liverpool’s director of football operations, Michael Edwards, previously confirmed the club’s plans to grow their football footprint (via BBC).
“One of the biggest factors in my decision is the commitment to acquire and oversee an additional club, growing this area of their organisation”
“I believe that to remain competitive, investment and expansion of the current football portfolio is necessary,” said Edwards
Getafe checks several boxes for the group. It’s a stable La Liga outfit with a growing infrastructure, most notably a brand new stadium set to be completed by the end of 2027.
However, president Angel Torres has publicly stated he won’t step down until that project is complete, which could delay any full takeover.
FSG see the club’s socio-economic profile and footballing potential as key assets.
While they continue to push forward with talks, the project hinges on whether Torres will allow a gradual transition or hold firm until 2027.
For FSG, securing Getafe would be a major step toward creating a network of clubs under their umbrella.
One that could support player development, scouting and global visibility for Liverpool and beyond.
