Football business news

The deals that move club values. Our own summaries, with a link to the original reporting and the FCV take on value.

CommercialCompleted

Venezia sign 40-year concession for a new 18,500-seat stadium

The club commits €125m to the new ground at Tessera in Mestre, due to open in 2027/28.

FCV take. FCV values Venezia at €69.9m. A long concession on a new stadium is worth more than the current lease once it opens, so FCV will review the stadium inputs then.

OwnershipAgreed

US-backed Pitchwise Holdings buys 42% of Valencia at a reported €1.25bn valuation

The consortium, backed by KKR co-founders George Roberts and Henry Kravis and the Walton-Penner family, is paying a reported €525m for the stake and adding €100m of new capital. Meriton keeps control with about 57%.

FCV take. The deal values Valencia at roughly €1.25bn, almost four times FCV's €327m. FCV's figure rests on an estimated revenue of about €110m with no filed accounts in our data yet; the price also reflects the Nou Mestalla project. FCV is reviewing its Valencia inputs.

OwnershipAnnounced

Bayern sell about 6.7% to Viessmann for a reported €250m

Viessmann Generations Group takes a stake in FC Bayern München AG through a capital increase; the members' club keeps 70% and Adidas, Audi and Allianz are diluted to just under 7.8% each.

FCV take. €250m for 6.7% points to roughly €3.7bn for the whole club, below FCV's €5.34bn enterprise value. Minority stakes with no control under 50+1 usually trade at a discount.

OwnershipAnnounced

Ryan Bertrand-led group offers £87m for 34% of fan-owned AFC Wimbledon

The board selected Sloane Street Capital from about 20 parties: £16m on completion and £71m over five seasons. Dons Trust members decide by 17 November.

FCV take. FCV values AFC Wimbledon at £10.9m. Most of the £87m is committed future investment rather than a price for existing shares, so the headline does not imply a £256m club.

FinancesAnnounced

Lyon revenue falls to €143m excluding player sales, with an €87m net loss

OL Groupe's 2025/26 results show total revenue of €222.3m (€143.3m before player trading). Michele Kang's Olympe Bidco took control in June.

FCV take. FCV now uses the published €143.3m instead of an estimate, which lowers Lyon's value to €503m (from €684m).

OwnershipReported

Leicester's owners set bid deadline, asking up to £225m

King Power is running a sale through Citi for the League One club. No serious buyer has been named publicly.

FCV take. FCV values Leicester at £156m enterprise value; after £92m net debt in the filed accounts, the equity is worth about £64m. An asking price of £225m prices in a fast return to the Premier League.

The Alexandre Pato-backed group completed the purchase after EFL and Independent Football Regulator approval. Kelvin Thomas remains a shareholder.

An independent commission upheld the charges covering 2009/10 to 2017/18. Sanctions will be set later; City lodged an appeal on 1 October.

Preston North End manager fields questions on takeover talk

Graham Alexander was asked about reports of interest in the club; nothing has been confirmed by the owners.

FCV take. Preston is valued at about £25m on the FCV Index. The ground is owned by the owner, so any deal structure for Deepdale matters as much as the price.

FinanceConfirmed

Manchester United report record £677.6m revenue without European football

Revenue rose 1.7% in the year to 30 June 2026; the club made a net loss of £43m and non-current borrowings rose to £577.6m. Guidance for 2026-27 is £740m–£760m with the Champions League return.

A five-year front-of-shirt partnership worth more than £300m in total, replacing Standard Chartered from June 2027.
