Inter Miami captain, Lionel Messi, has bought UE Cornelia.
Messi had completed a deal that gives him 100 percent ownership of the Spanish third division team.
This means the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is now the outright owner of the club.
UE Cornellà currently sit third in their Tercera División group, five points behind leaders Manresa.
With a playoff place already secured, they are aiming to achieve promotion.
Messi follows in the footsteps of eternal rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, in buying into a club in Spain.
Ronaldo, earlier this year, acquired a stake in Almería.
