One of the shopping of clubs most expensive in history The most, in fact, if Qatar or Ineos exceeds 5,000 million pounds (5,650 million euros). And it will be justified to the last coin, because the Manchester Utd is one of the most important brands in the world and aims to grow in the coming years.
Too much Qatarby Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, as Ineosled by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, have already shown theirs latest offers to take over the Old Trafford club and it is now the family’s turn glazerUnited owners since 2005, who had to decide which was the closest to their claims to get £6 billion (6,860 million euros) for sale.
Whether they reach that number or not, United are likely to be the most expensive sports outfit in historymore than its value to Chelsea (4,250 million pounds) and the NFL team Washington Commanders (4,800 pounds).
And because? because worth This is how the consultancy Brand Finance reveals it, which places United as one of the best financial out of the pandemic and one of the best long-term visionaries.
Its brand value has been reassessed in the last two years, once the pandemic and the absence of the public in the stadiums have passed, which caused an economic decline in match-day revenue and in television revenue, and stand on 1,060 million pounds (1,200 million euros), still less than the 1,400 it reached in 2018, when the team was runner-up in the Premier and played in the Champions League.
However, his growth prospects are high, because it comes from dark times and from breaking the title drought that lasted more than five years. They achieved League Cup victory over Newcastle United and have the chance to spoil neighbors Manchester City’s treble in the FA Cup final.
Erik Ten Hag’s new project aims to fuel the glory of the team and regularly classify United in the Champions League, economically the most important goal of each season.
“Your future is very bright promise“, point out from Brand Finance, which already calculates the United’s total value is around £3.5bnif its brand value, club value and net debt are added.
“When Chelsea was sold last year for £4.5bn, the club’s value was close to £3bn, so it is no surprise that the new owners will have to pay a highest price“.
Another argument used by the consultant to justify the price they pay for United is that rise of women’s football and how well positioned the English club are, currently top of the women’s Premier League and the FA Cup final to be held at Wembley, where tickets for the match are already sold out.
This does not mean that the purchase of United is not accompanied by problems and obligations. The first, to convince the fans, fed up with the Glazer phase, whom they accuse of putting the club into debt for their own benefit; and carry out the renovation of Old Trafford, which has become outdated compared to Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham, who have already renovated their stadiums or built new ones -Liverpool is in the process of renovation-.
Furthermore, in the case of Qatar, the Premier League has to give the go-ahead in the possible purchase, now that it has tightened the tests on owners and owners and will take into account aspects such as respect for human rights.
the policy of timeshare of UEFA is another matter to be discussed, with Qatar owning Paris Saint Germain and Ratcliffe investing in Nice.
