It’s finally Jim Ratcliffe who will be investing 1.5 billion euros by purchasing 25% of Manchester United. According to the English press, Sheikh Jassim ben Hamad al-Thani, who initially wanted to buy the entire club, had plans to bring in several French players.
The “French project” originally intended for PSG – was it initially planned for Manchester United? According to the English press, Sheikh Jassim had grand plans for the English club, including the acquisition of several top players, some of whom were French.
The top priority was Kylian Mbappé, as well as Real Madrid’s midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, and Bayern Munich’s winger Kingsley Coman. However, with the failed negotiations with Manchester United’s owners, it seems unlikely that any of these players will be joining the club.
On the other hand, Sheikh Jassim may have intentions of acquiring Tottenham, according to information from the Mirror. With similar ambitions in the transfer market, though perhaps not for Kylian Mbappé.
