Khaberni - Argentine star Lionel Messi has once again caused a major stir in the world of football, but this time not with his goals, but with a surprising investment move, which involved buying UE Cornella club, active in the Spanish fifth division and fighting for promotion.
The news spread rapidly and generated widespread interest; the club's follower count on social media soared from 40,000 to 200,000 within just 24 hours. The club also received over a hundred requests from international journalists for interviews and investigations, clearly demonstrating Messi's global influence even beyond the pitch.
A report by Spanish newspaper Marca stated that Messi's vision involves gradually taking over the management of the club starting now, without causing sudden changes within the existing structure. Maintaining the current staff represents a priority in the initial phase, with later introductions of close associates of his into crucial positions, along with upgrading the professionalism in various aspects of the club’s operations.
