Rumour has it that Qatar still has money set aside for buying a Premier League club, with Liverpool supposedly being a top priority for the Middle Eastern nation.
According to Mikel Keegan of the Daily Mail, Qatar has set aside as much as $8 billion (£6.5 billion) to acquire an English club after learning that a deal to purchase Manchester United has fallen through.
As a result, Liverpool may suddenly be on Qatar’s radar. The Arab nation is still eager to imitate Saudi Arabia and purchase one of the Premier League’s most illustrious teams.
According to what I know,” they set aside $8 billion for this project, Keegan stated. That money is present and available for use. It will be a financial burden for them.
“If they were inclined in that direction, what a tale it would be. They seem to be really upset and disappointed with how everything has turned out, from what I understand.
“What better way to reply than to go to United’s main competitors nearby and use all the money you were planning to invest in United to make them pay for their decision not to sell to you.”
Fans of Liverpool must oppose any takeover attempts by Qatar
Nation states getting engaged in football is a disturbing trend that isn’t going away anytime soon, and Liverpool supporters should be hopeful that a takeover by Qatar isn’t imminent.
While there is a desire for new owners to take over FSG’s ownership of the club, few fans will support a nation-state like Qatar purchasing Liverpool given their alleged violations of human rights.
Although the situation is not as dire as it is for United’s followers, Liverpool supporters are aware that a change in leadership is necessary and must make sure that they oppose a Qatari bid.
