The Bristol City football club, currently playing in the English Championship, may have a new owner in the future. According to The Sun, the head of the General Authority for Entertainment in Saudi Arabia, renowned businessman and sports enthusiast Turki Al Al-Sheikh, is carefully considering the possibility of buying the club.
According to available information, Bristol is currently owned by the Lansdown family, who have stated that they are not planning to sell the club. However, the financial terms offered by Al Al-Sheikh may be extremely attractive and could prompt them to reconsider.
It should be noted that this is not the first time the Saudi businessman has shown interest in English clubs. Previously, he attempted to establish contacts with Millwall and Southampton. His interest in football is largely due to the fact that in recent years he has been financing major global sports projects. Turki Al Al-Sheikh is expanding his influence not only within the country but also in the international sports market.
Last season, Bristol City finished 6th in the Championship and qualified for the play-offs to move up to the Premier League. However, in the semi-finals they lost to Sheffield United with an aggregate score of 0:6, which closed their way to the elite league.
The current situation shows that the arrival of a major investor could open up new opportunities for the club. A strong financial base and global connections could make Bristol City a competitive club not only in the Premier League but also on a European level.
After Turki Al Al-Sheikh’s decision, Bristol may become the next “Saudi project” in the football world. This is expected to lead to significant changes in the club’s transfer policy, infrastructure, and marketing strategy. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
