Sheikh Jassim was ready to submit his offer before Wednesday’s 9pm deadline, but when an extension was offered the Qatari group opted to use the time to fine-tune their bid even further. Not all of the offers are to buy the club outright, with around half proposing minority stakes or potential financing to other bids – such as US hedge fund Elliott Management.
The first round of the process saw bidders submit brief statements of intent and proof of finances, with no offer exceeding the £4.5billion mark – well short of the Glazer family’s £6bn asking price. But the second round sees more concrete offers put forward to Raine Group and a fresh statement has now confirmed that the Qatari bid has officially been submitted with Sheikh Jassim prepared to stump up a mammoth fee.
