QSI chairman and Leeds United-keen Nasser Al-Khelaifi named as football’s most influential person

Qatar Sports Investments chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been named as football’s most influential person by France Football.

The Paris Saint-Germain President, who is still very much interested in buying Leeds United, has topped the Top 50 most powerful/influential people list drawn up by the Ballon d’Or organizers.

Al-Khelaifi has established himself as one of the most important people in the game, and having him as Leeds owner will definitely boost the fortunes of the Elland Road outfit.

According to 90min, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are aware of QSI’s interest in Leeds and aren’t looking to be left behind when it comes to buying clubs.
