Nasser Al-Khelaïfi Confirms: Qatar is Gradually Withdrawing from France?
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has had a turbulent February, facing indictment in the Lagardère case and clashing with several Ligue 1 executives over TV rights negotiations in his role as CEO of beIN Media Group.
Amid rumors of Qatar’s withdrawal following his indictment, Al-Khelaïfi addressed the situation in an interview with Welt am Sonntag and Bild. He confirmed that the Gulf nation is now focusing its investments elsewhere.
Tottenham Takeover?
“If you look at how Qatari businesses and individuals are treated in France, it’s clearly not objective. And if you pay attention, we have been gradually disengaging for several years now to invest in more welcoming and fair environments.”
According to L’Équipe, Qatar is set to announce a major project in the coming weeks—one that will not include France. Speculation is growing that Qatari investors might be preparing a takeover of Tottenham Hotspur.
