By October 9th.

The wealth of the team is high on the list. In successive years, fans have now witnessed the

The "trench" that keeps on offering big bucks and doesn't skimp is the
Manchester City football club
The Golden Dollar Storm that started it all.
Today, that situation is broken by Newcastle. Even though
England Premier Soccer League
of the other 19 teams have expressed a stark sentiment-opposition. Still, Newcastle's takeover went through, and the team's new owner is Saudi consortium
Ben Salman
He's behind it.
Saudi Arabia Publicly Financed Fund.
It was previously rumored that Salman was sitting on a fortune of 320 billion pounds. However, this figure is not accurate and the real situation is that
Salman and his Saudi Arabian publicly funded fund are sitting on £700 billion
What kind of a concept is this?
Salman is 22 times wealthier than Mansour!
Last year's calculations revealed that

Topping the list with a market capitalization of 8.99 billion euros.
Serie A
5.14 billion in second place.
La Liga
5.05 billion,
Bundesliga
4.54 billion respectively in third and fourth place, with Ligue 1 in fifth place at 3.44 billion. The total market capitalization of the five leagues is 27.2 billion. The top ten leagues in terms of global market capitalization add up to about 32 billion euros.

Leagues. If Salman swallows the world's top 10 leagues in one fell swoop, the remaining wealth would be about 670 billion pounds!
There is no doubt that in the near future the Magpies will likely pull off the craziest takeover in the history of football, in true Salman fashion.
Wealthy and profligate, all such adjectives can be applied to Salman. It is understood that in 2015, Salman spent
£230 million
, purchased near the Palace of Versailles
Chateau Louis XIV
, this castle covers 50,000 square feet.
The castle has 10 bedrooms, fountains and pools all encompassing, not only that, but the castle also has a transparent underwater room with separate luxurious meditation and cooling rooms.
Not only that, but the chateau has a wine cellar with up to 3,000 bottles, a private movie theater, a squash court, a nightclub, two banquet halls.
An incredible aquarium, even the parapet of the castle staircase is inlaid with gold leaf.
In addition.
Salman also spent £350 million on Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting Salvator Mundi and €452 million on a 440-foot superyacht.
What stars will Newcastle, in the future, sign after Salman takes over?
