Owners Of PSG Nears €100M Acquisition of Málaga CF

Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), the owners of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), are in the final stages of acquiring Spanish club Málaga CF, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

QSI’s Expansion into Spanish Football

Negotiations with BlueBay Group (49%) and Abdullah Al-Thani (51%) are at an advanced stage, with a full agreement expected soon. The deal, valued at €100 million, would see QSI become the sole owner of Málaga CF.

Málaga’s Struggles & QSI’s Vision

Currently 15th in Spain’s second division, Málaga has been in administration since 2019. Despite their recent struggles, QSI views the club as a high-potential investment, given Málaga’s rich footballing history, strong academy, and status as Spain’s sixth-largest city—a key location for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

QSI’s Multi-Club Strategy

QSI, which already owns 87.5% of PSG and 21.67% of Portuguese club Braga, aims to use Málaga as a development hub for young talents, similar to its approach with Braga. However, the extent of their planned investment in Málaga remains unclear at this stage.

QSI’s Expanding Sports Portfolio

Beyond football, QSI has been expanding its global sports presence, securing stakes in the Washington Wizards (NBA) in 2023 and Audi’s Formula One team last year.

With Málaga potentially joining QSI’s growing football empire, the move could mark a new era for the Spanish club, providing much-needed financial stability and a pathway back to La Liga.
