The current ground has a capacity of 16,500 but that is set to increase by 3,000 as Getafe plan to built a "little Bernabeu".
They have plans to add a huge screen on the exterior, install a new roof to cover every fan on the terraces and put in 69 new state-of-the-art VIP boxes.
Getafe, located 15 miles outside Madrid, could appeal to Fenway and would allow them to compete with City Group in Spain, who own Girona.
A spokesman for FSG said: 'FSG routinely engages in conversations and evaluates opportunities across global sports, a common process to assess ventures that align with the organisation's strategic priorities.'

Man Utd ‘keen on Europa League winner to replace Andre Onana as Monaco consider shock transfer move for under-fire star

MANCHESTER UNITED have identified Europa League-winning goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi as a possible replacement for Andre Onana, reports suggest. Goalkeeper is a position Red Devils chiefs want to address following an error-strewn season from No. 1 Onana. 2 2 Having signed the Cameroon international for £47million two summers ago, his high-profile mistakes have continued to cost Man Utd. And Ruben Amorim is said to be willing to cash in on the goalkeeper to shore up the defence. Onana, 29, has attracted interest from Ligue 1 side Monaco, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. However, Man Utd have wasted no time lining up a replacement in the form of Italian goalkeeper Carnesecchi. The 24-year-old has been the No.1 in Bergamo under Gian Piero Gasperini since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2023. He has kept 28 clean sheets in 76 games and was part of the squad which won the Europa League in 2024 as Ademola Lookman scored a hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen to secure the club's first-ever European trophy. However, he could now follow Gasperini in leaving the club after Man Utd made contact with his representatives about a switch to England. The Old Trafford outfit have not made contact with Atalanta yet, and the Serie A side will need a substantial offer to sell. This news comes on a magical day for the shot-stopper as he tied the knot by getting married. On he is valued at £21.4m (€25m). Gyokeres trying to force Arsenal move | Newcastle eye Rashford deal | Transfers Exposed Man Utd have also reportedly been in talks for World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 33, who Sun Sport revealed is up for the challenge of signing for the fallen giants.

Russian tech billionaire Pavel Durov claims to have over 100 children

A Russian-born billionaire has claimed to have fathered more than 100 children, and said they will all share his £10,000,000,000 fortune. Pavel Durov, 40, became a billionaire after creating the messaging app Telegram, but has now told French media that despite being the 'official father' of six, he has more than 100 others. He said he began donating sperm 15 years ago to help a friend, who revealed more than 100 babies were conceived by him in 12 countries. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death,' he told Le Point. His plethora of children might be promised part of his fortune, but they won't be able to access it for 30 years, he added. 'I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account,' Durov added. Pavel Durov was born to Russian parents in St Petersburg on October 10, 1984. He attended St Petersburg State University before creating 'Russian Facebook'. Durov founded the so-called Russian Facebook – named VK – as well as Telegram messenger, which is used for communications by both sides in the Ukrainian war. Durov left Russia in 2014, just a year after setting up the encrypted messaging app with his brother, due to pressure from Russian security services. Durov's fortune is estimated by Forbes at $15.5 billion. He's been living in self-imposed exile since 2014, basing himself out of Dubai, France, St Kitts, and other countries. Durov made headlines last year when he was banned from leaving France after he was charged with allowing alleged criminal activity on his messaging app Telegram. More Trending It was alleged that Pavel Durov's platform is used for child sex abuse material and drug trafficking, and that Telegram refused to cooperate with investigators when legally required. One investigator told AFP they were surprised Durov entered France despite the warrant against him, adding 'enough of Telegram's impunity'. Russia, however, has branded the arrest as politically motivated and proof of a double standard on freedom of speech in the West. But this has raised some eyebrows, given that Russian authorities have tried to ban Telegram, and Durov has been in self-imposed exile since 2014 due to conflicts with the Russian government.
