Matthew Benham, owner of Brentford for twelve years, is considering a partial sale or in the form of a majority stake in his club. According to Sky Sports, the Englishman hired Rothschild to solicit investment offers. The course, located in Greater London, could be worth more than £400 million. But to best promote their club, the Bees are obliged to remain in the first division at the end of the season. And at present, Ivan Toney’s partners are 5 units ahead of Luton, first relegation.
If Brentford were to come under the American flag, the Premier League resident would become the 11th club to have investors from the other side of the Atlantic at its head. As a reminder, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Burnley, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Liverpool and Manchester United are all already owned or partly owned by American investors or companies.
