The Qatar Investment Bank, led by Sheikh Jassim, has reportedly chosen West Ham United as the best rival to Manchester United for a takeover, according to the Spanish publication El Pais.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Jassim is currently battling with Sir Jim Ratcliffe over purchasing Manchester United from the Glazers.<\/p>\n
In order to purchase Manchester United, the Qatari banker recently made an upgraded, last-minute bid to Raine Group, the merchant bank managing the transaction on behalf of the Glazers.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Jassim has begun to focus on other teams in England’s top division, since the Glazers allegedly prefer Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s offer from Ineos.<\/p>\n
After co-owner David Gold passed away in January 2023, West Ham’s co-owner David Sullivan is apparently open to offers for the team.<\/p>\n
If an agreement were to be reached, Sheikh Jassim would probably make a bid for 100% of West Ham, much as he did with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Qatari sought to pay off Man United’s \u00a3969.6 million debt and included a separate fund intended only for the team and the neighbourhood in his proposal.<\/p>\n
