REPORT: Celtics investors interested in purchasing Seattle Seahawks

Yahoo Sports

Things appear to be heating up with the sale of the Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have officially been on the market for months now. After years of wondering when it would happen following the death of former owner Paul Allen, his estate put the team up for sale shortly after their triumphant victory in Super Bowl LX. A report from Front Office Sports at the end of April said billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook were preparing bids for the team, but sources close to both tech giants quickly denied those claims.

Now it seems we have more legitimate bidders emerging. Sportico is reporting that Aditya Mittal and Wyc Grousbeck have submitted a letter of interest to Allen and Company - the investment bank responsible for managing the sale of the Seahawks. Wyc Grousbeck was the former majority owner of the Boston Celtics from 2002-2025 before selling majority shares to Bill Chisholm.

Grousbeck still has partial ownership in the Celtics for now. As for Aditya Mittal, he hails from an incredibly family in India, and he is no stranger to the American sports business landscape. He invested one billion dollars into Chisholm's purchase of the Celtics in 2025, and clearly he wants to expand his own personal sports empire to the other side of Interstate-90.

Mittal is the current CEO of ArcelorMittal, one of the world's largest multinational steel manufacturers.
