LaLiga: Oil-rich Malaysian prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim puts Valencia in his sights
FirstpostSingapore: A Malaysian prince has prompted speculation of a takeover bid for Spanish football club Valencia after posting about his ambitions for the LaLiga outfit. Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, crown prince of the oil-rich state of Johor, said Valencia needs someone who is “hungry for success”, adding that he was motivated by “creating history”. “I’m not a businessman, I’m a prince,” Tunku Ismail, 36, wrote in a series of Instagram stories, which are no longer available but were posted as screenshots by media. Tunku Ismail already owns Malaysia’s Johor Darul Ta’zim, who last year won their seventh straight Malaysian league title and inaugurated the 40,000-capacity Sultan Ibraham Stadium. Lim’s Meriton Holdings bought Valencia FC for 420 million euros in 2014, including 200 million euros to clear the club’s debts.
