The sale of Manchester United has been going on for a very long time, and if you start with the announcement of Manchester United, it has now been seven months, and although the sale of the club itself is a relatively troublesome thing, it is surprising that it has dragged on for so long, especially in front of very sincere buyers. The Qatari consortium represented by Jassim was confidently invested in the Manchester United acquisition work since Manchester United's announcement, and participated in five rounds of quotation work.
According to the latest reports from a number of media outlets, including the "Team Newspaper" and "The Post", after finally making a $6.5 billion offer, the Qatari consortium said that it was also a final offer, and they would not make a new offer, and Manchester United would either choose to accept it or they would abandon the acquisition of Manchester United. And, with multiple previous offers and negotiations wasted a lot of time, Jassim is tired of this inefficient way of communicating and will choose not to buy Manchester United if they don't receive a final response this week.
The $6.5 billion offer is still a certain gap compared to the 6 billion pounds previously reported by the media, and there is also a certain gap with the expectations of the Glazer family. However, Jassim's offer is already the highest, with a clear advantage over all the contenders, and they have also promised to spend about 1 billion euros to renovate stadiums and infrastructure for Manchester United, which means that Jassim's total investment in Manchester United is more than $7 billion, and more importantly, they are a debt-free acquisition of Manchester United, which is the best news for the team.
The biggest difference between debt-free and debt-raising buyouts is that Manchester United's later earnings no longer need to repay loans for new owners, and more budget can be invested in the construction of the team. Although Ratcliffe also announced that he would carry out a debt-free acquisition before, with his financial resources, it is still relatively difficult to complete such a goal, and Jassim has the support of the Qatari consortium behind it to complete the debt-free acquisition. Now that the opportunity for a final choice is in front of the Glazer family, it's time for them to make a choice.
The final answer is equally important for Manchester United, who will need to prepare for next season's squad as the league draws to an end. If Jassim eventually completes his 100% acquisition of Manchester United, they can improve their transfer fee budget and add more good players to Ten Hag's squad, which is most critical for Manchester United. But if United's takeover fails, Ten Hag will need to make careful player choices if he wants to strengthen his position in the centre and midfield.
