The chairman of Qatar Sports Investments - which owns Paris Saint-Germain - Nasser Al-Khelaifi met Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy at the World Cup and in London last month. According to Tottenham, the meetings were not about Qatar buying or investing in the club.
The Qataris are aware that their name could be used to drum up interest from other investors but they are looking for a way into the Premier League market.
Would Qatar Sports Investments' ownership of PSG be an issue?
Al-Khelaifi is also the president of Paris Saint-Germain and the European Club Association and UEFA rules would make it difficult for QSI to own another big European club, although they have recently bought a 21 per cent stake in Portuguese club Braga. If QSI bought Man Utd, for example, they could noy play in the Champions League in the same season as PSG. There are ways around that though.There are lots of other Qatar-based groups and individuals who could buy Man Utd instead of QSI.
