With the help of Neymar’s family, Santos has been talking to the Qatari fund in recent weeks and intends to have news soon
With an eye to the future, the saints may have great news to tell the fans. Since the last few weeks, the club has been negotiating with the investment fund that owns the PSG. According to information from the portal “Uol Esporte”, talks are progressing between the parties. It is worth mentioning that the Vila team would have to adopt a similar or equal model to that of the SAF.
According to the journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho, QSI (Qatar Sports Investments) wants to buy a small part of Peixe’s shares. In this way, Santos would maintain control of decisions, which is seen as a fundamental point by the president. Andres Rueda. But, for that, the club would have to adopt the model of SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) or SA
Also according to the journalist, Santos was trying to avoid adopting the SAF model, but the fact of keeping the majority of shares should change the current board’s view. The idea of QSI, an investment fund linked to PSG and the government of Qataris to repeat the deal made with the Bragawhich sold 25% of its shares to the catari fund.
QSI, due to the connection between Neymar father and Neymar son with Santos, is interested in buying a minority stake in Santos. For that, Santos would have to become SAF and QSI would do what seems inexplicable, put the money in the hands of a club that will manage this money“, explained PVC.
“QSI has already done this in Braga and can do it in Santos, but it will not do it in Santos if it is in the associative model, because the club is a non-profit entity. Will buy if Santos changes the legal figure, change, for example, to SAF. It may not be SAF, it may be SA, as is the case of Red Bull Bragantino, which pays 35% tax on profit“, continued the journalist.
It is worth mentioning that Santos started talking to QSI through the father of Neymar. In recent times, the family of the Brazilian star has reconnected with the Vila club and started to help with some needs.
