“To get good results and keep the fans happy, you have to keep investing significant money in players and infrastructure,” –he said.
“That investment has to come from outside… now we are open to a new investor coming into the ownership group.”
Reports say Apollo wants to buy shares from the club’s main partners — Gil Marín, president Enrique Cerezo, Ares Management and Quantum Pacific — in a deal that values the club at about €2.5 billion.
Sources say Apollo has an exclusivity window that could run until mid-October and is preparing a sports investment fund to back the bid.
The club has also signalled it will raise at least €60m to strengthen the squad and fund projects around the Metropolitano.
HoldCo owns roughly 70% of the club while Quantum Pacific holds the rest; selling stakes would reshuffle ownership and shift who makes the big decisions.
Atletico Madrid have started the season unevenly and need reinforcements.
High-profile players like Ousmane Dembele demonstrate why steady investment matters for transfers and long-term competitiveness.
Apollo, Atletico Madrid and other stakeholders haven’t confirmed the talks yet.
