The Islamic Bank of Qatar offered 6,000 million euros to the Glazer family to buy the English club Manchester Utdwhere the Argentine plays today Alejandro Garnacho and his compatriot, the defender Lisandro Martinezworld champion, according to the British press.
The Glazer family owns the “First Allied Corporation”, an American real estate holding company that owns and leases shopping malls in the United States, as well as the Zapata Corporation, one of the largest oil explorers in the world.
The Glazers also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team and have owned United since 2005.
Recently, the Glazer clan announced in an official statement that the club was valued at 3,400 million euros in case there was anyone interested in buying it.
Finally, today it became known that Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani, president of the Islamic Bank of Qatar, offered 6,000 million euros for the shareholding package of the Glazers, which exceeds 69 percent.
The executive of the country’s second financial institution that is the largest gas producer in the Persian Gulf would offer 6,000 million euros for the purchase, the highest amount ever paid by a club in the history of professional sports.
From England they point out that the desire of the North American family is to transfer the club to the Al-Thanis, although the legal process is complex.
Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani is the son of Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, former Qatari prime minister between 2007 and 2013, and cousin of Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, father of the emir. If closed, it would be a historic operation.
Another person interested in United is Jim Ratcliffethe owner of the petrochemical company INEOS, whose offer would exceed 5,000 million euros.
