Mexican businessman Carlos Slim may buy 51% of Club León, sources say. What does this mean for the team? The possible interest of Carlos Slim in buying Club León, one of the most traditional teams in Mexican football, has generated a wave of rumors and speculation in the sports and business world. Recent reports point to negotiations for the acquisition of 51% of the club's shares by the businessman, although neither party has officially confirmed it. So far, what is known is that Carlos Slim — through América Móvil — appears as the main candidate to acquire the majority of Club León's shares, a team whose control currently belongs to Grupo Pachuca. The conversations would revolve around a possible sale motivated by the pressure of FIFA and the Liga MX to eliminate multipropiedad, and neither party has made public statements to confirm or rule out the progress of the transaction. The previous link between the Martínez family, the current owner, and Slim would be key to making the operation concrete in the short term. The president of Grupo Pachuca, Jesús Martínez, confirmed that the sale of 51% of Club León's shares is being prepared as part of the adjustments in the Liga MX to eradicate multipropiedad. He added that his son, Jesús Martínez Murguía, would continue to be related to the presidency, which would allow the club to maintain a close link with the fans and a stable sports structure. According to Martínez Murguía's report in March, the club has received around 130 purchase proposals from different countries, but the historical relationship with Slim positions América Móvil as the most viable buyer. For now, the fans and sports media remain in suspense due to the lack of official information about the definitive course of the operation. It would not be the first time that Carlos Slim has been involved with Club León or the Mexican football business. Between 2012 and 2017, the businessman participated as a minority partner, held approximately 30% of the club's shares, and collaborated with Grupo Pachuca during that period. This potential return to León's orbit would mean the return of one of Mexico's most relevant investors to the institution. His previous experience in the Liga MX and affinity with the current owners strengthen the expectation of possible changes in the club's ownership and sports structure. The possibility of Slim returning to participate in national football has caught the attention of fans, analysts, and other stakeholders in the sport.
