PSG’s Qatari owners QSI are more likely to invest in Tottenham Hotspur than Liverpool at the moment.
As per the Evening Standard, QSI are looking to ‘expand its sports portfolio.’ This will reportedly involve purchasing a minority stake in a Premier League club.
However, despite their ‘for sale’ status, this looks highly unlikely to be at Liverpool. Instead, a stake in Spurs is said to be a ‘more realistic’ option.
Another Premier League behemoth for sale – Manchester United – are also claimed to be an unrealistic target for QSI.
Liverpool set to miss out on Qatari pay-day
QSI’s intention to look for investment in the Premier League certainly comes at a very interesting time.
With both Liverpool and United up for sale, you would think it could be a perfect and unique opportunity for such an enterprise.
But that doesn’t appear to be the case.
No doubt this will anger a faction of the Liverpool support. With a willing, and rich investor actively looking for opportunities, some will question why the Reds are not at the front of the queue.
Perhaps it’s for the best, though. It has previously been outlined that due to their ownership of PSG, things could get messy should QSI take on another club.
Any new club could, in theory, have to answer to the French champions in matters regarding transfers.
With that in mind, it’s easier to see why a club like Spurs would appeal. With respect to Antonio Conte’s side, they aren’t a threat to PSG in the transfer market.
Liverpool and Manchester United certainly are. As a result, you can see why they’d want to aim a little lower down the English football ladder for their investment. Still, it could be a huge move for Spurs. Are Liverpool missing out here?
