Liverpool’s future transfer discussions may be impacted if Qatari funding withdraws from talks to purchase Manchester United.
The official withdrawal of Skeikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani’s interest in purchasing Manchester United is a devastating blow to the club’s supporters who had hoped to see the 20-year rule of the Glazer family end.
However, could the changes have an impact on a Liverpool transfer target?
In November 2022, the present United ownership announced that they would be thinking about selling their shares. Five months after the start of the competition that led to the Qatari investor making a £5 billion offer, it appears that there will be no deal.
It is now being said that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his petrochemical business INEOS will mediate a deal for a 25% interest in the Old Trafford club and take over football operations rather than a full sale.
