Football: an African billionaire in the running to buy Valenciennes?

Valenciennes, a Ligue 2 club, for sale, might be bought by an African billionaire who made his fortune in cement.

The sports dailyTeam did not hesitate to make the announcement. The L2 club Valenciennes is on sale through KPMG.

President Eddy Zdziechdisputed by a large part of the supporters, has declined several offers since the start of the season, in particular this winter that of Southampton.

A source from the club’s management indicates that “the director of the sports project of a large industrial group ofSub-Saharan Africa was present at the stadium Hainault Saturday night once morest Paris FC (4-5). This would be his second visit to Valenciennes to study the feasibility of a buyout of 100% of the shares of VAFC. Contacts really intensified last week between the Zdziech family and the African billionaire who made his fortune in the cement industry,” adds the team.

For this, however, it will be necessary that the men of Nicolas Rabuel remain in Ligue 2, it seems.

This description of an African billionaire is not unlike the Nigerian Ali Dangotte.

The latter made his fortune in the cement works. And he has never hidden his ambitions in this area. He had already placed himself to buy Arsenal, a 1st League club English. In this case, the discussions never came to a conclusion.
