Tottenham Hotspur faces record bid
American consortium’s interest
An American group, led by Brooklyn Earick, aims to acquire Tottenham Hotspur. They propose a â¬6 billion offer, mainly to purchase ownership of the club for approximately â¬4.4 billion. The remaining funds are intended to strengthen the team by enhancing the player squad.
Details of the bid
Earick’s bid represents a potential world record. This offer would surpass the previous record set in 2022 when Todd Boehly acquired Chelsea for â¬5.8 billion. Earick’s plan involves allocating â¬4.6 billion to purchase the club and â¬1.8 billion for team improvements.
Tottenham’s response
Tottenham Hotspur has addressed the speculation, dismissing it as only an âinformal expression of interest.â The club’s board clarified their stance, stating that they have declined the proposal and do not intend to sell. ENIC Sports & Developments Holdings Ltd, which owns the majority stake, remains committed to retaining its investment in Tottenham.
Ownership background
ENIC’s primary investor, Joe Lewis, stepped down from a prominent role at the club last year amid corporate restructuring. Despite the changes, the Lewis family remains dedicated to the team’s progress and future success.
Manager’s comments
In a recent interview, Tottenham’s manager, Thomas Frank, praised the Lewis family’s involvement with the club. He highlighted their commitment to gradual growth and the importance of building the team sustainably.
Upcoming matches
Tottenham is gearing up for an upcoming Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt. Following a recent draw due to a late equalizer, the team is focused on enhancing their performance as they continue in the league.
