Qatari sheik pays €25m for Malaga

Qatari Sheik Abdullah bin Nasser Al-Thani has bought Spanish La Liga club Malaga, which escaped relegation on the final day of the season.

Spanish sports newspaper As reports that the buying agreement is worth a sum around €25 million.

Former club president Fernando Sanz had travelled to Qatar and Dubai earlier this year to seek a buyer.

An official announcement of the takeover is expected on June 15.
