JJ Watt buys Spanish club! Former NFL player becomes new owner of Espanyol

Unusual news from the world of sports! Just when you thought you'd seen it all in football, JJ Watt—one of the biggest tough guys in NFL history—shows up and surprises everyone: he's become co-owner of Espanyol Barcelona! 🇺🇸🇪🇸🔥

🏟️ From NFL Fields to Spanish Grasslands

After retiring from the NFL and participating in the Burnley project—where he played a role in the club's return to the Premier League—Watt isn't resting on his laurels. Instead, he's setting his sights on the Iberian Peninsula, entering Spanish football with a bang.

During the press conference, the American did not hide his emotions:

“Força Mágico Espanyol!” he shouted with a passion reminiscent of his best moves on the American football pitch.

📈 What does this mean for Espanyol?

Espanyol Barcelona is a club with a rich history, but for several years it has been wandering between the first and second divisions. Many fans believe they need new energy, vision, and—let's be honest—funding. JJ Watt could be just the spark that ignites a flame of hope in the hearts of Pericos fans.

💡 Football meets NFL – a new era?

This isn't just a financial investment. Watt has years of experience in business, media, and managing top-level sports teams. He can bring a new perspective, fresh ideas, and exposure to the American market to Espanyol.

Fans have already started joking online:

👉 "We are waiting for the first training sessions with an American football ball!"

👉 "Espanyol will get an NFL-style defense!"

🤔 Will this fusion of worlds prove to be a hit or a mistake? Time will tell. One thing is certain – Espanyol has gained not only a co-owner, but a true warrior. And La Liga? It may have just gained its new showman.
