8 years without a crown, investing too little in the transfer market, always selling core players ... It's several aspects of Arsenal fans who have been unhappy with the club. But according to the Sun, Arsenal's spring is coming!
It is reported that a mysterious and powerful Middle East consortium is ready to buy Arsenal, the offer is 1.5 billion pounds! The consortium, made up of investors from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, has been negotiating acquisitions with Arsenal for the past 4 months, according to the Sun. The investors ' goal is to buy all of Arsenal's shares in the coming weeks, with the first target being the number one shareholder, Kroenke. Kroenke currently owns 66.64% per cent of Arsenal, and the consortium is willing to bid £ 20,000 bn for each share in Kroenke's hands (41581 shares). If Kroenke were to sell all his shares, he would have taken in £ 830 million bn and made a net profit of £ 350 million.
The Daily Telegraph's claims are somewhat different, arguing that Kroenke spent £ 400 million bn on his acquisition of Arsenal and that he would have earned 430 million pounds if he had taken the shot. The Sun also said that if Kroenke accepted the offer, the consortium would also submit the same conditions to Arsenal's second shareholder, Uzmanov, to buy a 29.11% per cent stake in his hand. The consortium is understood to want to take a 100% per cent stake in Arsenal and is willing to work with Uzmanov if he doesn't sell it.
The Sun says the consortium also intends to repay £ 250 million bn in arrears for Arsenal, set up special funds for the transfer and stop selling the stars in the squad! "These are serious investors, and the money is solid, and they're not messing around," a person familiar with the news said. Kroenke has to realise that it's time to quit. The Sun also revealed the consortium's plans for Arsenal's future, with 4 priorities.
First, attach importance to the Champions League; second, do not guarantee Wenger's handsome position; third, lower Arsenal home fares; and four, guarantee not to sell the core players in the team. The consortium believes Arsenal should not live in the shadow of Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, let alone the point where they can only compete with Tottenham Hotspur and may not even be able to match their rivals.
The consortium hopes to allow Arsenal to return to the top and fight for the League and Champions League titles through a large infusion of money. "Arsenal are in a very critical position and the club may have to continue to regress like Liverpool," according to the person familiar with the situation. Liverpool are now in a cycle of recession, and that could happen to Arsenal as well. There was no communication between Kroenke and Uzmanov, which was unhealthy for the club. It would get the club into trouble, but the 1.5 billion-pound offer would fix the problem.
” If the acquisition is true, then it will be one of the biggest club takeover cases in football history. "The only club worth so much money is Manchester United because Barcelona [Weibo] and Real Madrid [Weibo] are not available," the person familiar with the knowledge said. "The insider also said that after the new boss took over, they did not guarantee Wenger's head coach position:" No coach, even Ferguson, can survive 8 years without a crown. " Wenger has not been questioned by any board of directors at this time. He doesn't need to report to anyone, no one asks him what's happening to the club right now, and nobody asks him for an answer. It feels like letting go, and when it comes to business cooperation, they're too far behind Manchester United.
” Every word of the person familiar with the word is believed to say that in the hearts of every Arsenal fan, if the acquisition comes true, then Arsenal's spring is really coming.
