Three world champions join Portuguese club for 40 million
An investment group announced its acquisition of 90% of Estrela da Amadora, a Portuguese club, for 40 million euros. This is a record-breaking deal in the past five years, as the team was purchased for only 72,000 euros in 2020 when it was competing in third division. Johannes Muszmann, 35 years old, assumes the presidency of the new club, bringing with him previous experience at Bayern Munich. It is noted that the team returned to Portugal's top division in 2024, benefiting from a broadcast rights reform project and the club's rising value, which currently places it fifteenth out of eighteen teams in the league. The investor coalition includes three world champions from the World Cup: Thomas Müller, Mats Hummels, and Luka Hernandez, along with Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer. This investment indicates a shift of the Portuguese league toward becoming an attractive destination for foreign investments, with increasing ownership of clubs by international investors.
