The San Francisco 49ers could soon be adding a minority stakeholder to the team's ownership group. According to Bloomberg, the 49ers are exploring the possibility of selling 10% of the franchise. The team would be seeking roughly $900 million for that 10% share, which would put the value of the team at a record-setting $9 billion.

The 49ers have given wide receiver Deebo Samuel permission to seek a trade, and some teams are exploring the possibility.

A report from Sports Business Journal indicates the 49ers are “‘exploring selling’ a 10 percent stake at a valuation of more than $9 billion.” That means the 10 percent stake would cost the buyer $900 million.

The San Francisco 49ers are weighing a 10% stake sale at a valuation of over $9B, which would make it one of the world's most expensive sports teams, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
