The owners of the American Mercadona and the group of big investors who dabble in sports put their private fortune in Valencia: the backstory of Peter Lim's sale

Valencia CF has attracted significant investment from American fortunes through Pitchwire Holding, acquiring 42% of the club's shares from Peter Lim. This consortium, led by Ann Rodriguez and Corey Woolfolk, includes notable investors like Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner, linked to Walmart. The investment aims to enhance the club's growth without Lim losing control. KKR also joins the venture, known for its diverse sports investments. The deal involves a €100 million capital injection to improve the team's financial flexibility and competitiveness. The transaction awaits approval from the Sports Council, as it exceeds 5% of the club's capital, raising hopes for Valencia's sporting recovery.
