The son of former Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jasim bin Jaber Al Thani will become the new owner of English football club Manchester United. This is reported by the Qatari newspaper Al-Watan.

It is noted that the last proposal of Sheikh Jasim was successful. It is expected that the new owners of Manchester United will be announced in the near future.

Mirror notesthat the father of Sheikh Jasim is the co-owner of the Al-Watan newspaper.

In April Bloomberg reported that Sheikh Jasim is ready to buy Manchester United for $ 6.3 billion. Last week The Guardian informedthat the sheikh made a final bid in the amount of $7.53 billion, and if the offer is rejected, he will withdraw from the negotiations.

The British billionaire owner of the transnational chemical company Ineos Jim Ratcliffe also claims to acquire Manchester United. It is not known how much he offered.

It was announced last November that the Glaser family, who have owned Manchester United since 2005, are considering selling the team. Manchester United management has tasked investment bankers with assessing options to attract new investment in the team, the possibility of renovating the stadium and infrastructure, expanding Manchester United’s global business, and selling all or part of the club.

Forbes now evaluates the cost of the club at $ 6 billion is the second most expensive football club in the world (it is ahead of Real Madrid).
