Qatari sheikh buys Malaga FC


A Qatari sheikh has bought the Spanish First Division side Malaga, a member of his entourage told AFP.




"Sheikh Abdallah Ben Nasser Al-Thani has sealed the deal to buy all the shares in the Malaga football club," the source told the news agency.
"The total sum paid will be announced at a press conference on June 15 in Spain."

However, the Spanish sports daily AS reported the sheikh, a member of the Qatari ruling family, had paid 25 million euros for the club.
Malaga escaped relegation on the last day of the season with a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid.
