LONDON (Reuters) - Owners of Atletico de Madrid are in advanced talks to sell a majority stake in the top-tier Spanish soccer club to Apollo Global Management, according to three people with knowledge of the deal.
The U.S. firm could take control of the club by acquiring part of stakes owned by the club's CEO, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, and its chairman, Enrique Cerezo, one of the sources said.
