English medias all keep talking about the blockbuster Premier League takeover. They say the deal is 99% ready and will soon be announced in the very near future. The new Magpies owner is announced to be a Saudi Investment Fund owned by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. The Saudi sheikh is also a Defense Minister of Saudi Arabia and the first in line for the Saudi throne. Salman is looking to purchase the 80% share for a total amount of more than 300 million pounds, which should be a big of a deal for him since his net worth is estimated to be more than 7 billion pounds!!!
What does it mean for the Newcastle fans though? Experts believe that we would be witnessing the birth of another Premier League powerhouse. However, Salman is not only eyeing Premier League dominance but also Champions League titles in the future (such a scenario is looking more realistic right now since many European clubs should be experiencing financial issues in the meanwhile). The question, however, is who can help Magpies achieve such goals? Top online bookmakers seem to already know.
According to the oddsmakers from
Betfair, Gareth Bale, Luca Modric, Jaydon Sancho, Erling Haaland, Edison Cavani, Hulk, and even Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are among those who Newcastle would be interested in. However, looking at the odds, any of the aforementioned names are unlikely to be signed before January 2021.
