Qatar eventually break silence on Liverpool FC takeover links
Mansoor bin Ebrahim Al-Mahmoud, the chief executive officer of Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the Gulf state, has broken his silence about a potential investment in Liverpool.
QIA is one of the consortiums currently linked to the Reds, with FSG recently announcing that they are open to selling the club or accepting minority investment from outside parties.
Al-Mahmoud stated, when asked about his interest in Premier League clubs: “Football, the clubs and the sport is becoming very commercialised in a way, especially now fans are looking into this as an experience, so they would like to and experience and entertain themselves.
“At the same time, digitalisation is becoming very important for this. So, the business model of these institutions is becoming very commercialised and very investment friendly. You will not be surprised if we invest in this.
“We have not made up our mind yet but this is a very commercially driven decision that we go through. And again, sports is becoming a very important theme as well, people are engaged more in a sport and digitalisation is making it more attractive to investors.”
