Manchester United. The Qatari sheikh Sheikh Jassim has presented an offer of 5.6 billion euros to the Glazer brothers for the acquisition of all the shares of the club. According to the media Bild, in case the Qatar conglomerate takes control of the team, its intention would be to completely renovate the squad, with the aim of signing the stars Kylian Mbappé and Eduardo Camavinga.
A new owner for the famous Red Devils has not yet been determined, as Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of INEOS, has also presented an attractive offer to the current owners. The situation will be resolved in the coming weeks. However, Sheikh Jassim has identified the French winger as a key figure to attract fans and start his project with the 'Reds'.
The close relationship between the sheikh and PSG's board of directors could simplify a negotiation that is expected to involve a large amount of money to bring Mbappé to United. However, the player would not be the only one to arrive in the city, as the magnate is also interested in signing Camavinga from Real Madrid and Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich.
The obvious purpose of the new additions would be to give a 'French touch' to the team led by Erik ten Hag. Jassim is willing to invest up to 900 million euros in signings and facilities, as long as he acquires the shares of Man Utd. Just like what happened with Paris Saint-Germain, Qatar intends to make a statement in the Premier League and place the club among the best in the world.
Who is Sheikh Jassim, the sheikh who wants to buy Manchester United?
Jassim Al Thani, 44, is one of the twenty-four children of the Al Thani family that holds political and economic power in Qatar. Currently, Jassim is a member of the board of directors of the Qatar Foundation and is also the chairman of the Qatar Islamic Bank, one of the most relevant banks in the Asian continent.
