Liverpool and PSG Owners Compete for Malaga Takeover

The owners of two major European football clubs, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), are reportedly in a race to acquire Spanish club Malaga. Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), which owns PSG, and Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owner of Liverpool, have both expressed interest in purchasing the Liga 2 side.

QSI, which acquired PSG in 2011 and recently bought a stake in Portuguese club SC Braga, is said to be in advanced talks with Malaga. The potential deal is estimated to be worth around €100 million. However, FSG has emerged as a potential competitor in the acquisition process.

According to reports, FSG is exploring the possibility of buying Malaga, with their initial focus on acquiring the majority stake held by Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani. To assess the club’s potential, FSG reportedly sent a delegation to inspect Malaga’s facilities in February.

This development sets the stage for an intriguing battle between two major players in football ownership, as both groups seek to expand their influence in European football. The outcome of this competition could have significant implications for Malaga’s future and the landscape of football club ownership in Spain.
