Tottenham Hotspur takeover could surpass the world record fee paid by Todd Boehly‘s Clearlake Capital group for Chelsea.
The North London club are considered to be one of the best-run clubs in the Premier League thanks to Daniel Levy’s sustainability-first approach. It is one of the major reasons why the club has a very high value.
According to a report via TBR Football, a potential Tottenham takeover could cost around £2.5 billion which would smash the world record. Daniel Levy, the club’s chairman and co-owner recently revealed that Spurs have been in talks with a number of parties regarding an equity investment. While there is no clarity on whether it will be a partial or a full takeover, nothing has been ruled out yet.
Football finance expert Swiss Rambale recently did a survey using the Markham Multivariate Model which suggests Spurs is valued at around £2.2 billion. They are second to just Manchester City and third-placed Manchester United are valued at only £1.4 billion.
Swiss Ramble did compare his assessment with those of Forbes (£2.5 billion), Football Benchmark (£3 billion) and Sportico (£2.75 billion). If a deal is completed based on any of these prices, it would surpass the world record fee paid by Todd Boehly‘s Clearlake Capital group for Chelsea.
So far, four parties have showcased an interest in investing in Tottenham. The New York-based MSP Sports Capital wanted a full takeover but that seems to be a story of the past now. Liberty Media who already have a commercial partnership with Spurs are also keen. Nasser Al-Khealifi’s Qatar Sports Investment Authority and rapper Jay-Z have also been linked with a deal.
