A Chinese bank are ready to make a £225million offer for Southampton after a proposed take- over from a rival Far East firm collapsed.
Sportsmail can reveal that CITIC Securities — China’s largest investment bank — have drafted the terms of a takeover bid and are set to make a formal approach once the club’s period of exclusivity with Lander Sports Development expires at the end of this month.
Think the club agreed that all players media commitments for the final would be done before the trip to Spain and only Puel has to do his usual presser on Friday before the game.
