Foot – Mercato – OM
While Saudi Arabia has just bought Newcastle, the PIF, a Saudi investment fund, could not stop there and the acquisition of OM would indeed be in the pipeline.
After a failure a few months ago, Saudi Arabia finally bought Newcastle. The Magpies therefore passed under the Saudi flag, making the Premier League club the richest in the world.
