Qatar, via Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thanifiled a fifth offer to try to buy Manchester United and, if this is not accepted, they will give up their interest in the English club.
The offer, while better than the last, falls short of the £6bn (€6.7bn) that the Glazer family is asking to get rid of the club they have owned since 2005, according to the British press.
In case of refusal, the billionaire Jim RatcliffBusiness owner INEOS, will remain the only candidate to win Man U. He is already negotiating with an American bank Rhinewho runs the operation to promote the deal and already managed the Chelsea sale last year.
Since the Red Devils went on sale in November, Qatar and Ratcliffe have been the biggest interested parties in buying them, and the process is now entering its final stages due to the proximity to the transfer market starting on June 14. and the need to provide guarantees to the project Eric TenHag.
The main difference between Qatar’s offer and Ratcliffe’s is that while the Sheik wants 100% of the club’s shares, Ratcliffe has offered the Glazers the chance to keep a portion of United’s stake.
