The Sheikh of Qatar Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Ineos, presented at midnight this Friday their final offers to buy the Manchester United.
The Qatari’s offer reached 5,000 million pounds (5,650 million euros), still far from the 6,000 million pounds (6,800 million euros) requested by the Glazer family -owners of the club-, but more than the value of Chelsea ( 4,250 million pounds) and more than what the NFL Washington Commanders team is worth (4,800 pounds), the most expensive sports team in history to date.
Ratcliffe, for his part, is only interested in taking a part of United, around 50%, leaving 20%front-end. against their owners in recent years. year.
Now the ball is in the court of the Glazers, who have to evaluate the proposals and decide which one best suits their interests, to complete this sales process that started more than five months ago.
The Glazers bought United in 2005 for around £800m and have since turned it into one of the world’s most valuable clubs, in exchange for huge net debt and a sporting slump since 2013, the year Alex Ferguson left.
