Multi-Club Ownership Strategy Shifts as Bids Arrive for Bogota Giants
The multi-club ownership network controlled by Amber Capital founder Joseph Oughourlian could be set for a significant restructure. French media outlet L'Equipe reports that the RC Lens chief executive has attracted substantial interest from buyers aiming to purchase his controlling 86.1% stake in the Bogota-based side.
Oughourlian acquired the historic Colombian team back in 2015 when the institution was facing severe financial ruin. Under his stable stewardship, Millonarios FC turned their fortunes around, transforming from a bankrupt entity into a highly profitable football business capable of winning major domestic silverware.

"I bought the club in bankruptcy in 2015, now it runs well and makes money," Oughourlian remarked regarding the speculation. "I am in no hurry to sell and any decision will depend heavily on the financial valuation and the seriousness of the prospective buyers."
This strategic move follows Oughourlian's full divestment from Italian Serie C outfit Calcio Padova in 2025, alongside retaining a 5% minority stake in Spanish Segunda division team Real Zaragoza. The Colombian pipeline has notably served RC Lens well, facilitating the European transfers of Oscar Cortes, Wuilker Farinez, and Jader Valencia.
