PSG owners search for a way into English football through Leeds United
PSG’s owners are trying to make their way to England through Leeds United. The Championship side is said to be in talks with money man, Sheikh Al Thani.
It has been published over the weekend Qatari owner, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani wants to buy a significant share in Leeds United. It’s understood talks are ongoing between the club and the Sheikh’s party, and a deal could see them take over a large portion of the once magnificent association.
The affluent Qatari boss has already seen one-sided success in the French Ligue 1 with Paris side, Paris St. Germain. Though, in saying this, besides the league title lifted this season by the Parisians, they’ve struggled in all other cup runs losing all of them.
