PSG owners monitoring Aston Villa ahead of possible takeover

Paris Saint-Germain’s owners are closely following four Championship sides ahead of a potential takeover, according to Sport Witness, cited by the Mirror.

Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) purchased the French giants back in 2011 and are reportedly willing to invest in a second-tier outfit.

The company have turned PSG into a European powerhouse over recent years and currently have the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar turning out for the club.

Villa, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Queens Park Rangers are the four clubs QSI are reportedly monitoring, with all four sides boasting large fan bases.

However, Leeds and Aston Villa’s possible promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs could play a part in a possible takeover.

Dean Smith’s side have enjoyed a fine run of form in recent months, winning 10 Championship games on the bounce to secure the club a top six finish.

If Villa do earn promotion, QSI may withdraw their interest, with the company looking to originally take control of a second-tier side who can build up into the Premier League.
