ROYAL Emirates Group yesterday signed a deal to buy La Liga club Getafe for up to 90 million euros (US$131.4 million) with the Dubai firm targeting a top six finish next season for the relegation-haunted outfit.
The club will be renamed "Getafe Team Dubai". Getafe finished sixth last season but is languishing in 14th place this term, four points above the relegation places, while the club, located in Madrid's suburbs, attracts the lowest attendances in the Spanish top flight. The Getafe deal is the third foreign acquisition of a La Liga club in the past year following the sale of Malaga to a member of the Qatari royal family and Racing Santander to an Indian businessman.
