Nigerian Billionaire, Mmobuosi, Set to Acquire English Club, Sheffield United, in �90m Deal leadershipNGA: Nigeria
According to The Times, Mmobuosi is reportedly thought to be in the final stages of buying the Bramall Lane club. It is understood that the prospective buyer still needed to pass the EFL's owners' and directors' test, but that 'no problems have arisen' so far.
It has been known for some time that the Blades could be sold with current owner, HRH Prince Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, struggling to maintain the funding needed to keep the club going. Last year, American businessman Henry Mauriss, who was previously linked with taking over Newcastle, had a bid, understood to be over £100m, accepted by the club's hierarchy.
But, as per The Sheffield Star, a proposed takeover of the Blades by Mauriss collapsed because of the complex financial structure he was using to try and purchase the Yorkshire club. It means that Sheffield United have been still in search of a new buyer and it is reported Mmobuosi is behind this bid.
Mmobuosi first made his mark on the world when he founded a company called Tingo Mobile PLC in Nigeria in 2001, and it is an organisation that has grown ever since. He then created his own foundation in 2021 that aims to"promote the progress of Africa and create an environment where Africans can thrive" where he focuses on improving education, healthcare and Information Technology development in his home country of Nigeria.
