Qatar lose interest in Tottenham takeover amid Levy comments
Reports suggest that Spurs have previously held talks with Qatar investors in 2022.
Finance expert Kieran Maguire also told Football Insider that Sheikh Jassim could turn his attention towards buying Tottenham after his failed bid for Man United.
However, it is understood that Qatari investors remain eager to purchase a stake in a Premier League club but strongly prefer a majority takeover deal.
At this stage, a minority deal from US groups remains the most likely outcome of Tottenham’s investment talks.
Spurs recently published club-record revenue of £550million including a record-breaking matchday income of £117million making them a very attractive proposition for investors.
