Latest news in Spain. Leo Messi, owner of Eldense since the 1st of October, is preparing sporting changes for the January transfer window with the aim of reinforcing a squad currently in relegation positions in LaLiga Hypermotion. The club has 5 points in seven matchdays and is in 19th place, so the winter transfer window will be crucial to try to secure their stay.

Leo Messi is already making decisions at Eldense

Leo Messi has started to get involved in Eldense's planning just a few weeks after acquiring ownership. The Argentine holds virtual meetings with the CEO Mario Rosas and the sports director Víctor Lafuente to monitor the team's progress.

The first significant sporting decision came before the completion of the acquisition. Javi Calleja, aged 48, took over as head coach with a contract until June 30, 2028, replacing Claudio Barragán after a start with four points in the initial matchdays.

The change of coach has not yet solved the results. Eldense lost 1-0 to Burgos on September 27 and reached the seventh matchday with one win, two draws, and four losses, as well as only 4 goals scored.

Leo Messi's revolution targets the January market

The next phase of the project focuses on the winter transfer window. Eldense cannot make overhauls to its squad outside of the designated periods, and January will be the first opportunity to bring in players during the 2026/27 season.

The economic situation introduces a relevant condition: Messi's purchase of the club does not automatically mean Eldense will have more wage margin. The spending limit remains constrained by LaLiga rules, and the money from the share sale does not translate into a direct injection into the squad.

There is currently no official confirmation on specific player names set to arrive in January. The possibility that Messi may turn to players from his circle or former acquaintances should be considered as a planning avenue, not finalized signings.

Argentina sets a key date

Before fully focusing on Eldense, Messi will face his final commitment with Argentina. The forward will play against Benin on October 6 at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, marking his last match for the national team after 21 years and 207 international matches.

After that farewell, Leo Messi will be able to concentrate on his project in Spain. Eldense needs to react before January, but it will be during the winter transfer window when the revolution determining their quest for survival can take place.

The next step will be defining which positions Leo Messi needs to reinforce alongside the sports management and the wage margin that Eldense will have in January. With 5 points after seven matchdays, the club will enter that window influenced by their classification and LaLiga's financial restrictions.
