Manchester United might be on the track to have a new owner.

The red devils are now looking to receive a new offer from the Qatari, and it seems that he now could be really close to the actual amount that the current owners are asking for the team.

It was really unexpected for the Manchester United fans the way that the current owners of the team decided to stop the negotiations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe when it was supposed that he was really close to buy the 25% of the team in the next few months, but now it seems that there could be a reason for that decision to wait some more time.

And the fact is that now it seems that the Sheikh Jassim could be getting really close to the number that the Glazers are actually asking for the team, in fact most sources believe that he could present his sixth offer for the red devils and that he might finally be close to that amount, something that could help him take over the team.

Sources close to the Sheikh Jassim have confirmed that he is looking to offer a new amount of at least 7.5 to 7.8 billion euros in the next months, and that should be more than enough for the Glazers to actually go ahead an accept the offer from the Qatari to buy 100% of the red devils and become the only owner of the team.

In the past few months it was reported that the Sheikh Jassim recevied a loan from a bank of 9 billion euros, and he could be ready to use that money to buy the club and then to use the rest to pay the whole debt from the team as soon as he arrives, and that could really help the future of the team right away.

On top of that it has also been reported that the Sheikh Jassim is ready to have a total of 500 billion euros to invest in the transfer window as soon as he arrives to sign some players that could actually help the team get some better results now.
