Valencia asks Spain's CSD to approve Pitchwise's 42% stake
The deal values the club at 1,250 million euros, and Spain's sports council is now reviewing the paperwork for the purchase of Meriton Holdings' shares.
Valencia has formally notified Spain's Higher Sports Council (CSD) of the request to authorise Pitchwise's purchase of 42% of the club, according to Mundo Deportivo. The operation, which values Valencia at 1,250 million euros, first came to light on 23 October and now enters its official process.
Because the stake exceeds 25% of the capital, the Sports Law requires prior approval from the CSD. The application must identify the buyer and the company whose shares are being acquired, the percentage the buyer will hold afterwards and the shareholder structure down to individuals if the buyer is a company. A notarised declaration that the buyer falls under none of the bans in article 23 of the law is also required.
The CSD now has the documentation in front of it. As we already reported, Valencia's 2026-27 budget does not yet include the 100 million that Pitchwise will contribute.
