KOLKATA: Premier League giants Manchester United may end up taking the ownership of one East Bengal, one of India’s oldest football clubs.
BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who is facilitating the deal, told media that negotiations are on with the ‘Red Devils’ and a few others and a clear picture will emerge in about two weeks.
East Bengal were also talking with with Bangladesh-based conglomerate Bashundhara Group but it did not lead to any deal.
“Yes we have spoken to them and others also. It will take 10-12 more days to know who will be the entity,” said Ganguly, former Indian cricket captain.
Asked whether the European football giants are coming as an investor, the Indian cricket icon said: “No, no as an owner.”
