Qatar Sports Investment wants to expand its investment portfolio and Brazilian media Globo has expressed interest in acquiring a stake in Santos. Although talks are at a very early stage, the environment of al khelaifi has confirmed to Mundo Deportivo that this is a real possibility despite the fact that at the moment they are only exploratory contacts to see if an agreement can be reached in the medium term.
In a few months, QSI hopes to increase its presence through various minority investments in clubs around the world. In October of last year, PSG’s owner acquired 21% of FC Braga, which, with one game left in its league, guarantees its presence in next season’s Champions League. The Qatar fund is also considering acquiring a majority stake in Málaga, estimated at 9 million euros.
Some media in Brazil added that he is the father of neymar the one who acted as an intermediary between Santos and QSI, although sources close to the president of PSG argue that the father of the striker aims to gain a reputation with this interested leak. This is the expansionist model that the emir of Qatar wants to bet on, although this does not mean that investments in PSG need to be affected by this business strategy.
However, during the World Cup it was himself al khelaifi the one who advanced in various interviews that they are open to hearing proposals to assign up to 15% of the shares of the Parisian group, which could reach 600 million euros. In 2011, when QSI bought the club, it did so for just 70 million euros, proving that the revaluation was rare in more than a decade in which the club was transformed.
