It turned out that Qatar investors are planning to acquire Tottenham for less than 5.4 trillion won. It is a major event that may determine Tottenham's future fate.
The Guardian reported on the 12th (local time) that `Qatar investors want to buy Tottenham, but they can take the form of a phased acquisition.' Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy added that he will be offered a management contract to run the club under one model envisioned by the Middle East consortium.
Last year, it was reported that chairman Levi was in negotiations to sell his stake in Tottenham's club worth £3.75 billion (about 6.8 trillion won). However, the club's value has fallen due to its 14th-ranked performance in the league as of the 2024-2025 season, Football Insider, a soccer media outlet, reported. Investors are said to value Tottenham at between £2.5 billion and £3 billion.

Qatari investors' interest is 'real', reports Football Insider. Former Everton CEO Keith Wynes told Football Insider last month that the Qatari government and Tottenham have been in negotiations for years, and the interest in Tottenham is real.
Manchester City (United Arab Emirates) and Newcastle (Saudi Arabia), which already belong to the same league, are operating with Middle Eastern capital. Paris Saint-Germain, which includes Son Heung-min's national team colleague Lee Kang-in, is run by the Qatar National Treasury Fund. Tottenham, which has a commercial profit of 255 million pounds (about 460 billion won) in 2024, is enough to attract the attention of the rich in the Middle East.
Tottenham's leaders have been met with strong protests from fans in recent months due to a lack of investment. ENIC Group, a British investment company to which Chairman Levi belongs, owns 86.91% of Tottenham. Chairman Levy and his family owned 29.88% of ENIC, while Tottenham owner Joe Lewis' family held the remaining 70.12%.
