西雅图海鹰队周六宣布，球队将根据已故老板保罗·艾伦的遗愿，出售给包括维诺德·科斯拉在内的科斯拉家族。
据一名熟悉交易内情的人士透露，科斯拉家族已正式达成协议，以96.12亿美元收购这支卫冕超级碗冠军球队。由于该交易仍需获得NFL批准，这位人士要求匿名并向美联社透露了相关信息。
据海鹰队社交媒体账号发布的消息，科斯拉家族将成为球队的控股所有者。
“我们很荣幸能被托付为西雅图海鹰队的下一任管理者，”维诺德·科斯拉在一份声明中说道。“我们期待延续保罗·艾伦打造的夺冠传奇，并赢得海鹰队团队及各地球迷的信任。”
维诺德·科斯拉在X平台的后续帖文中表示：“很高兴能成为这支伟大球队的一员。同时也很高兴所有收入都将捐给非营利组织。在交易最终敲定前，不再发表其他评论。”
艾伦的遗产管理方于2月18日宣布启动球队出售流程。这支球队刚拿下队史第二次超级碗冠军。投资银行艾伦公司有限责任公司和律所盛信律师事务所牵头了此次出售流程，该流程在今年2月预计将持续整个休赛期。
根据交易条款，科斯拉家族必须放弃其在旧金山49人队的股份。
据ESPN报道，NFL各球队老板仍需批准最终收购协议，预计他们将在8月的会议上对该交易进行投票。
海鹰队自1997年起便属于艾伦家族，当时保罗·艾伦从时任老板肯·贝尔林手中以1.94亿美元收购了球队。艾伦曾为留住海鹰队留在西雅图发挥了关键作用，交易完成后，球队预计仍将留在西雅图。
海鹰队与Lumen球场的租约将持续到2032年，还附带三个10年续约选项。
作为微软联合创始人的艾伦于2018年因非霍奇金淋巴瘤并发症去世，享年65岁。此后，海鹰队和NBA波特兰开拓者队一直由他的姐姐乔迪管理。
艾伦的遗产管理方于9月同意将开拓者队出售给由卡罗莱纳飓风队老板汤姆·邓顿牵头的投资集团。根据该交易，开拓者队将继续留在波特兰，目前正等待NBA董事会的最终批准。
上一支被出售的NFL球队是2023年的华盛顿指挥官队。由约什·哈里斯牵头、包括“魔术师”约翰逊在内的投资集团从长期老板丹·斯奈德及其家族手中以60.5亿美元的创纪录价格收购了该队。
今年2月，海鹰队在超级碗中以29比13击败新英格兰爱国者队夺冠。
Seattle Seahawks sold to 49ers minority owner for record $9.6 billion

The Seattle Seahawks are being sold to the Khosla family, including Vinod Khosla, in accordance with the wishes of late team owner Paul Allen, the team announced on Saturday.
The Khosla family entered into a formal agreement to purchase the defending Super Bowl champions for $9.612 billion, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal is still subject to NFL approval.
The Khosla family will become the team’s controlling owner, according to a Seahawks social media post.
“We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks,” Vinod Khosla said in a statement. “We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere.”
In a follow-up post on X, Vinod Khosla said, “Excited to be part of this great franchise. Also excited to see the money all go to a non-profit. No other comments till sale is final.”
Allen’s estate announced on Feb. 18 it had begun the process of selling the team, which is coming off its second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. Investment bank Allen & Company LLC and law firm Latham & Watkins led the sales process, which was estimated in February to continue through the offseason.
The Khosla family will be required to relinquish its ownership stake in the San Francisco 49ers as part of the deal.
NFL owners still have to ratify a final purchase agreement and they are expected to meet in August to approve the deal, ESPN reported.
The Seahawks have been in the Allen family since 1997, when Paul Allen bought the team for $194 million from then-owner Ken Behring. Allen was critical in keeping the Seahawks in Seattle, which is where the team is expected to remain after the sale is finalized.
The Seahawks have a lease at Lumen Field that runs through 2032 with three 10-year options.
Since Allen, cofounder of Microsoft, died in 2018 from complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma at 65, the Seahawks and the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers have been owned by his sister, Jody.
The estate agreed in September to sell the Trail Blazers to an investment group led by Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon. The Trail Blazers will remain in Portland as part of the deal, which is awaiting final approval from the NBA Board of Governors.
The last NFL team to be sold was the Washington Commanders in 2023. A group led by Josh Harris that includes Magic Johnson bought the team from longtime owner Dan Snyder and his family for a record $6.05 billion.
The Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in the Super Bowl in February.
