The US-based owners of the English Premier League’s club have reportedly picked up an ITT, as per the reports of Times of India newspaper. TOI stated that owners of Manchester United are tracking the developments with keen interest.

The ITT floated by the BCCI, one that has called for closed bids to be submitted in the last week of October, has some strict clauses. The potential bidders are expected to submit an average turnover of Rs 3,000 crore or a personal net worth of Rs 2,500 crore to be eligible to bid, according to a BCCI statement. The average turnover clause was recently reworked by the BCCI after certain potential bidders made a specific request to lower the value in order to meet the eligibility criteria.

“So, technically, overseas investors are eligible to submit a bid if they meet these conditions. We don’t really know whether Man U owners will come to the bidding table. What we certainly know is that they’ve shown interest,” the TOI report stated.

Others who’ve picked up the ITT are the Adani Group, Torrent Pharma, Aurobindo Pharma, RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, Hindustan Times Media, Jindal Steel (led by Naveen Jindal), entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala and three private equity players.
