Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (overseen by Mohammed bin Salman) is positioned to buy Newcastle. The PIF is planning to be the 80% majority partner in a 300 million-pound ($370) takeover.
The English Premier League has been asked by human rights activists and one of its major broadcast partners to consider blocking Saudi Arabia's attempt to buy Newcastle United.
Amnesty International wrote to league chief executive Richard Masters to say the takeover could be exploited by Saudi Arabia to cover up “deeply immoral” breaches of international law, citing human rights violations and the role of the crown prince leading the sovereign wealth fund.
