As both Malaga and PSG are owned by the Qatari royal family, and the Spanish side are in financial difficulty, there had been rumours about the takeover.

“As Malaga’s general manager, I can categorically deny any interest or offer by any other entity to purchase this club. It is completely untrue, and there is absolutely no reason to suggest otherwise," Vicente Casado told a press conference.

“The owner is totally committed to Malaga. The investment is different, but the owner will continue to invest in the club."
