It looks like the news regarding Cagliari takeover is true.

Apparently an emissary of Qatar Foundation was in 'Costa Smeralda' for business directly related to the negotiation for the acquisition of a majority stake in Cagliari and he said 'we are waiting'.

Seems like only Cellino's approval is what is needed here.

Nothing on that.The article also says there's a consortium of American entrepreneurs ready to invest in Cagliari.So its between either them or Qatar foundation if you believe that article i posted above.

This Arab guy who's interested in buying Cagliari is the same guy who owns Malaga(Al-Thani) and look at what has happened to them now.So, i really wouldnt think there would be any major investments in the club especially considering this league faces a lot of issues( mainly bureaucratic).Could be wrong though.

Cellino: Cagliari practically sold

“22 years dreaming the impossible dream,” Cellino’s SMS read. “I am a poor romantic, I am sorry if I haven’t succeeded in my aims.

“I have practically sold Cagliari, the formalities will be completed tomorrow when the lawyers of the buyers provide assurances to the league’s governing bodies. They are good people.”

The identity of the owners is still unclear, with Corriere dello Sport reporting that it is likely to be one of either the Qatar Foundation or an American organisation who specialise in stadium construction.

Not good news if they're gonna buy Cristiano Ronaldo & Messi and all of a sudden there are a billion fans of freaking Cagliari world wide.
Its definitely good for the league.Better TV deals internationally,more popularity to the league.Just what i was hoping for.

This assuming they go on a spending spree ofcourse ,which i doubt though.
