Mike Ashley could be ready to leave Newcastle United behind him after reports have emerged that he has sold the club to a Dubai-based billionaire.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the interested party in the club is Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan, who is none other than the cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour.


While the Sun reports that Ashley has moved ahead with the sale, the Telegraph says its 'several high-placed sources' are unable to confirm whether Al Nehayan's £350m offer has been accepted.

The newspaper added that all of its questions were met with a "no comment," but one of its sources said that the quoted fee was 'an accurate reflection of the asking price.'

This is not the first time that Al Nehayan has been interested in taking over a football club. In fact, the 61-year-old attempted a £2bn takeover of Liverpool in 2018.

Rafa Benítez's future remains uncertain at Newcastle and he admitted after their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool at St James' Park that he wanted to stay at the Magpies.

"No, I'm feeling that it is a good day in terms of what we did on the pitch, and I am very emotional in what you could see around. That's it," he said.

"I'm not negative, or too positive, in terms of the conversations on the future. I think that the fans, they want me to stay.

"We have to be sure we have the tools to compete at the level that we want to compete.

"We are in a good mood, hopefully it [talks over my future] will be positive."

Will Ashley sell the club?

Hire a Mancini you mean.
Was it Guadiola that won the league for city after the Arabs first took over? Would Guardiola have looked the club when it was still a bottom table club even with all the money?
