In sintesi

  • I Seattle Seahawks sono ufficialmente in vendita a meno di due settimane dalla vittoria del Super Bowl 60 a Santa Clara
  • Il trust di Paul G. Allen ha avviato una formale procedura di vendita, rispettando la sua indicazione di cedere le partecipazioni sportive e destinare i proventi alla filantropia
  • La banca d’affari Allen & Company e lo studio legale Latham & Watkins guideranno un processo di vendita pluriennale, da cui ci si aspetta un prezzo record per una franchigia NFL, mentre la squadra resterà vincolata al Lumen Field e a Seattle

Reduce dal secondo trofeo Lombardi e da una parata che ha mandato in tilt il centro città, i Seattle Seahawks sono improvvisamente l’asset più ambito del mercato sportivo. Il trust di Paul G. Allen ha dato il via a un formale processo di vendita per gli attuali campioni del Super Bowl, una mossa senza precedenti nella NFL moderna e il capitolo culminante del piano del defunto co‑fondatore di Microsoft per liquidare il suo impero sportivo a favore della beneficenza. Allen acquistò la franchigia nel 1997 per poco meno di 200 milioni di dollari, evitando che traslocasse nel sud della California, e sotto la guida di Paul e Jody Allen i Seahawks sono passati da nota marginale della lega a contender fissa e vincitori di due Super Bowl.

Il trust ha incaricato Allen & Company e Latham & Watkins di seguire l’operazione, un iter che, secondo la squadra, si protrarrà fino all’offseason 2026, prima che qualsiasi acquirente venga esaminato e approvato da almeno 24 dei 32 proprietari NFL. Le valutazioni pubbliche collocano i Seahawks in una forchetta tra 6,6 e 7 miliardi di dollari, con alcune stime post‑titolo che spingono la cifra verso le otto cifre, prospettando una vendita destinata a superare i Washington Commanders e persino a sfidare il riferimento dei 10 miliardi dei Los Angeles Lakers. Con un contratto di locazione a lungo termine al Lumen Field, il tutto esaurito dal 2003 e il prossimo ciclo di diritti media NFL all’orizzonte, chi subentrerà erediterà una contender già pronta, una città totalmente coinvolta e una delle piattaforme più potenti della lega, sia per il business sia per la filantropia.
