Maxi López wants to be strong in the city of the Shelby siblings.
Maxi López is no longer news for his goals. Nor in matters of romance with their exes. Now, the name of the former soccer player who was born in River but in a different role: the businessman has reappeared in the media. ML is a true globetrotter who ended his journey in the 2021 season when he announced his final goals in the Sambenedettese shirt, in the promotion of Italy. Knowing what it means to recreate yourself, The Argentine has taken a new direction in his life and is one of the candidates to get a club in England.
According to data from The Mirror, Maxi López is interested in investing in Birmingham, a Championship team, but one that is historic in English football: It was founded in 1875 and is one of the most traditional clubs in England.
Birmingham is currently in the second category of English football and belongs to Birmingham Sports Holding Limited, whose majority shareholder is Chinese Paul Suen. Due to the club’s poor sporting moment, the owners started looking for new investors and López’s name came up there.
Coming out of River’s inferiors and Argentina’s youth teams, López played “one thousand” places: Barcelona, Mallorca, FC Moscow, Gremio, Catania, Milan, Sampdoria, Chievo Verona, Torino, Udinese, Vasco da Gama and Crotone, before retiring to Sambenedettese.
