European football is one of the world’s most popular sports, and billionaires, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds want a piece of it. They’re purchasing clubs, or stakes in them.

Bloomberg’s <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/ATDUqhHXyBA/giles-turner">Giles Turner</a> and <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/ATuCGxVAo1Y/irene-garcia-perez">Irene Garcia Perez</a> join this episode to talk about the patchwork of club owners, and whether football is actually a winning investment.
