Chiefs previously considered buying Malaga and Bordeaux but plans never materialised.
Now The Times report the group has turned its attention to another top flight side for the first time – Getafe.
However they may have to wait to complete a deal as current owner Angel Torres wants to stay at the helm until renovation works on the their stadium is complete.
Stands at the Estadio Coliseum are being knocked down with the project expected to last until December 2027.
The current ground has a capacity of 16,500 but that is set to increase by 3,000 as Getafe plan to built a “little Bernabeu”.
They have plans to add a huge screen on the exterior, install a new roof to cover every fan on the terraces and put in 69 new state-of-the-art VIP boxes.
Getafe, located 15 miles outside Madrid, could appeal to Fenway and would allow them to compete with City Group in Spain, who own Girona.
A spokesman for FSG said: “FSG routinely engages in conversations and evaluates opportunities across global sports, a common process to assess ventures that align with the organisation’s strategic priorities.”

Fenway had been in talks to take over Bordeaux last year, before they plummeted down the French leagues.
They also considered buying Malaga after the Spanish side entered administration.
FSG representatives reportedly visited Malaga to inspect facilities and assess what form any investment should take as they bid to create their own multi-club empire.
