According to Saudi Arabian journalist Tariq Al Nofal, Public Investment Fund’s takeover of Newcastle United is done.
He took to Twitter to post thus:
An official announcement is yet to come out, but it’s believed that the takeover will be completed this month.
On Tuesday, the Athletic’s George Caulkin claimed that the English Premier League would complete its Owners’ and Directors’ test on would-be Magpies owners the next day, and it is unknown if that is done.
Despite protests from Amnesty International and beIN Sports, it appears that the £300 million takeover will still go ahead without any hindrance, and if Tariq Al Nofal is to be believed, everything has already been wrapped up.
