Sheikh Jassim remains keen on buying Manchester United.
However, the Qatari is insisting on a 100 per cent buyout and is not interested in any type of minority shareholding for current owners, the Glazer family.
CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs reports: "Sheikh Jassim is still committed to a full buyout of Manchester United, which means 100% of the club, including the Glazers' share. He will not budge on that. It's an all-or-nothing bid.
"There's no scenario where the Nine Two Foundation and Sheikh Jassim would entertain staying on course for Manchester United if the Glazers want to stay.
"They don't want any scenario where they're a minority investor where the Glazers remain. They don't want any scenario where they don't have 100% of the club."
