Newcastle United are set to instantly become the richest club in football when their sale is complete.
The Sun reports Newcastle will have the wealthiest owners in world football by some distance once their £300million takeover finally goes through.
The Toon are on the brink of being in the hands of a Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund worth a staggering £320BILLION after the Gulf state's piracy row with neighbours Qatar finally ended.
Providing the deal is structured similarly to the original offer, Yasir Al-Rumayyan - a close associate of Saudi royalty Mohammed bin Salman - will become new chairman, with his powerful friend also backing the Magpies' takeover.
Following the deal's completion, the Saudi consortium are expected to own 80 per cent of the club - with Amanda Staveley and the Reuben brothers evenly splitting the remaining 20 per cent.
