FSG’s potential acquisition of another football club could significantly boost Liverpool’s chances of signing a top midfield talent for Arne Slot’s squad.
Since Michael Edwards returned to Liverpool, it’s clear that FSG is aiming to implement a multi-club model under their ownership. Edwards now holds a broader role as Director of Football Operations for FSG, overseeing activities beyond just Liverpool.
He’s acknowledged that FSG’s ambition to acquire another club was a key reason for his return. While over a year has passed without any finalized deal, signs now suggest that progress is being made.
FSG previously explored a move for Bordeaux but abandoned the plan due to the club’s costly stadium lease. Malaga CF was another candidate, but nothing concrete emerged. Now, attention has shifted to Getafe CF.
According to The Times, FSG is seriously considering buying Getafe, who are currently for sale. Spanish sources report the potential deal could be worth around €150 million.
Establishing a multi-club system, especially with a La Liga team like Getafe, would offer Liverpool several advantages—especially in terms of player development and recruitment.
While Liverpool boasts an elite scouting network, they sometimes struggle to attract promising young players due to limited first-team opportunities. A partner club would allow FSG to develop talent who aren’t ready for Liverpool yet but show long-term potential.
Getafe would likely see many changes post-acquisition, but one player might remain due to his suitability for Liverpool: Christantus Uche.
Uche, a 22-year-old Nigerian midfielder standing 1.90m tall, had an impressive season, contributing 13 goals—the most in the team. Younger than current Liverpool players Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah, he’s proven his effectiveness in attacking situations.
Technically gifted and physically strong, Uche excels at shielding the ball and drawing fouls. His versatility makes him valuable to any coach—capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, box-to-box role, or even as a striker, where he began his career just three years ago in amateur football.
Top European and Premier League clubs are reportedly interested, but if FSG completes the takeover, they’d likely hold onto him as a long-term Liverpool prospect
