Amancio Ortega (Zara)

The final name in this list is none other than Amancio Ortega.

Manchester Evening News claim that Ortega, the owner of the Spanish multinational clothing company Inditex, is one of the parties interested in taking over the club.

The Spanish businessman has reportedly also informed senior club executives of his interest.

According to Forbes, the 86-year-old is now the 18th-richest man in the world, with a net worth of $62.9 billion.

He owns 59 per cent of the Inditex clothing empire, which he started in 1975, and last year appointed his daughter, Maria Ortega Perez, as the chairwoman of Zara.

Ortega has primarily invested into real estate in Madrid, Barcelona, London, Chicago, Miami and New York but has yet to venture into the sporting world.
