Mikel Keegan recently reported that Qatar still have the money to acquire Liverpool after their United takeover collapsed. Liverpool are in the list of Eastern state’s agenda as per Keegan. According to Daily Mail’s Mikel Keegan, Qatar have set aside as much as $8bn (£6.5bn) to take over an English club, with news breaking recently that a deal to buy Manchester United had collapsed. Owing to this, Liverpool can be an option for the Qataris. The Arab side is keen on getting one of the most historic clubs of Premier League.
Keegan said,
“What I know about is that they set aside $8bn for this project. That money is there and ready to go. It will be burning a hole in their pocket.“
“What a story that would be, if they were that way inclined. From what I am led to believe they are very disappointed and angered at how this has played out.”
“What better way to respond than go to United’s biggest rivals down the road and throw all the money you were going to put into United into making them pay for that decision not to sell to you.”
However, nations getting involved in the football is a worrying trend. It does not appear to be slowing down too. Liverpool fans should be hoping hat Qatar takeover is not the possibility. Though, they want FSG to be replaced as soon as possible still they might not want a state acquiring the club. Moreover, there situation is not as desperate as that of United were.
