The acquisition of Newcastle United by Saudi Arabia through its sovereign wealth fund is one of the largest football club acquisitions ever. The acquisition cost approximately €362 million, or Rp 5.96 trillion.
However, this acquisition value is significantly lower than that of Manchester United in 2005. At that time, the Glazer family purchased the most decorated English club for €878 million.
Liverpool's acquisition by Fenway Sports Group (FSG) ranks as the third largest. FSG, also owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, took over Liverpool for €333 million in 2010.
Next, the acquisition of Manchester City by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour required €233 million.
This surpasses the acquisition of Chelsea by Roman Abramovich (€155.5 million) and the acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain by Qatar (€80 million).
