Nigerian billionaire Dozy Mmobuosi is closing in on a deal to buy Sheffield United for around £90million amid the club's recent transfer embargo.

According to The Times, Mmobuosi is reportedly thought to be in the final stages of buying the Bramall Lane club. It is understood that the prospective buyer still needs to pass the EFL's owners' and directors' test, but that 'no problems have arisen' so far.
It has been known for some time that the Blades could be sold with current owner HRH Prince Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud struggling to maintain the funding needed to keep the club going. Last year, American businessman Henry Mauriss, who was previously linked with taking over Newcastle, had a bid, understood to be over £100m, accepted by the club's hierarchy.
But, as per The Sheffield Star, a proposed takeover of the Blades by Mauriss collapsed because of the complex financial structure he was using to try and purchase the Yorkshire club. It means that Sheffield United have been still in search of a new buyer and it is reported Mmobuosi is behind this bid.
Mmobuosi first made his mark on the world when he founded a company called Tingo Mobile PLC in Nigeria in 2001, and it is an organisation that has grown ever since. He then created his own foundation in 2021 that aims to "promote the progress of Africa and create an environment where Africans can thrive" where he focuses on improving education, healthcare and Information Technology development in his home country.
They are in breach of regulation 52.2.3 of EFL rules, which states: "If a club is in default of payments due to another club under a transfer or compensation agreement the club shall be subject to a registration embargo, such that it shall not be permitted to register any player with that club without the prior written consent of the league until such times as the agreement is honoured."
This hasn't affected the Blades' performances on the pitch, however, with Paul Heckingbottom's side sitting second in the table and it would take a major hick-up not to get promoted this season. They are 12 points ahead of third-place Middlesbrough with just 18 matches to go.
The Nigerian is worth around £7bn and could bring in a renewed sense of hope on the finance front to the Blades, who have spent just shy of £4m in transfer fees since last January. The Blades are currently going through a transfer embargo after defaulting on payment owed to another club. The EFL confirmed on its website that their issue relates to the non-payment of a transfer fee that was owed.

These people do not experience suffering because the county got their back ...


Any way....Igbo Amaka!

Good for him if his money is clean and has no element of fraudulent dealing in it. Can they permit Marwa and his boys, Efcc and ICPC to have a week session with him before we begin to celebrate him? Higher percentages of these people don't let us know how to appreciate hard-working individual billionaire anywore without first asking series of questions. These are the people obi should ask for campaign money instead of hiding under current effect in Nigeria to solicit for funds from indigent and common Nigerians
