A new giant may enter the Premier League. Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), owner, among others, of PSG, is looking for ways to expand its business and one of them is to land in the Premier League. The commercial success in Paris is considered extrapolable to English football, undoubtedly the most renowned showcase for companies and investors in sport. In recent times, several millionaire owners have entered the business, giving the Premiership an economic dimension that is unattainable for the rest of the championships.
Qatar, after the World Cup, wants to take that step forward. According to AS, the heads of QSI are studying operations in the United Kingdom with which they could find a place in the best league in the world. The World Cup and PSG have dominated Qatar's attention in sport over the last decade, but with the World Cup now over, it is time to look for new horizons. That is why Nasser Al Khelaïfi, president of PSG and QSI, met last week with Daniel Levy, his Tottenham counterpart. The meeting was about much more, but also about the future plans that Qatar has on the table.

Spurs could be a good entry point for Qatar into the Premiership. Levy joined the club in 2001 as part of ENIC, the family business that supports the club, and has had full control since 2007. Although it is not his intention to divest himself of ownership, there have been reports in recent times that he would be willing to listen to offers. In addition to Tottenham, two other major English clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United, are for sale, albeit at a higher price than the Londoners.
QSI was founded in 2005 and bases its business model on sports investing. It is owned by the Qatari Ministry of Finance and the Qatari Olympic Committee. Its latest move was in October with the purchase of a 21.67% stake in Portuguese club Braga for 80 million euros. Finding a club in the Premier League is the next big target. The PSG model exported to the most powerful league on the planet. A stratospheric combination.
Going into the realm of probability, with the financial backing Liverpool would acquire, they could be possible signings that Jurgen Klopp has wanted for several weeks. Specific cases such as Jude Bellingham, who would have to pay around 120 million to leave Borussia Dortmund. Or even Enzo Fernandez, who Benfica are holding on to. Not forgetting Moises Caicedo, who Brighton have valued at 80 million. Plus the possibility of encouraging Mbappé.
