Millwall set for Saudi takeover?! Championship club in talks with boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh over potential investment

The Daily Mail states that Millwall have entered into negotiations with Turki Alalshikh, who has spearheaded the huge Saudi investment in boxing in the last two years and is now looking for a way into English football.

The report adds that Millwall insists the club is not for sale and denies that discussions have been held. But the financial might that this Saudi powerbroker can bring may be too good to refuse.

Millwall Holdings Limited currently owns the Lions and have been chaired by James Berylson for the past two years. Incidentally, Alalshikh cut ties with Spanish second-tier side Almeria amid his Millwall interest.

It remains to be seen if these rumours turn into something more concrete as Millwall prepare for another season in the Championship.
