Liverpool's owners are looking to expand their sporting empire with a La Liga mainstay.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have scoped out the possibility of buying a Spanish side as they look to move into a multi-club model. FSG have previously planned on purchasing Malaga and Bourdeaux, but nothing has come to fruition.
However, according to The Times, Liverpool have now turned their attention to La Liga side Getafe, who finished 13th last season in Spain's top flight.
A takeover won't be smooth sailing, with current owner Angel Torres wanting to stay at the helm until renovation works on the their stadium is complete. Stands at the Estadio Coliseum are currently being knocked down with the project expected to last until December 2027.
Getafe are hoping to build a "little Bernabeu" as they increase their stadium capacity by 3,000. They also have plans to add a screen on the exterior and install a new roof to cover every fan on the terraces.

The La Liga side are based 15 miles outside of Madrid.
A spokesman for FSG said: “FSG routinely engages in conversations and evaluates opportunities across global sports, a common process to assess ventures that align with the organisation’s strategic priorities.”
Multi-sport models are becoming increasingly common in football - and Getafe's La Liga rivals, Girona, are part of the City Football Group.
The CFG spans across the continent with City, Girona, Palermo, Troyes and Lommel representing them in Europe. It also has clubs in India, Australia, Brazil, Uruguay and the USA.
Manchester United's owners INEOS also own multiple clubs while Brighton are also part of a shared model.

However, it poses problems with Crystal Palace's European dreams at risk of being dashed due to UEFA rules around multi-club ownership only allowing one club to be represented on the continental stage.
