Owned by John Textor, Eagle Football Holding could well see a boost. The Sportsbank group is currently in discussions with the American either to buy the 45% stake in Crystal Palace or a stake in the holding company to which OL belongs.
270 million euros. This would currently be the offer that would hold water and would have convinced John Weaver according to the Daily Mail. Having the desire to sell his shares to Crystal Palacethe American had confirmed in recent weeks that he was counting on a number of offers for the English club. One of them would come from Sports banka US-Emirati consortium, and is said to be in the region of £230 million. A figure that should logically convince John Weaver. However, you will have to wait a little longer to see the sale take place.
An investor who would take the holding company to another dimension?
The talks are now well advanced, and sources close to the matter hope that the transaction can be ratified by the beginning of February 2025, according to the British press. However, discussions would continue to focus on the structure of the case. Indeed, as reported Bloomberg a few days ago, Sports bank would also be interested in investing in Eagle Football Holding of which OL is a part. The exchanges would therefore involve knowing whether it would only be to buy back the 45% of Crystal Palace or if the investment fund has greater ambitions.
