American investors as well as Premier League side Newcastle United have reportedly entered the race to buy Vincent Tan-owned KV Kortrijk.
Tan, who took over the Jupiler Pro League in 2015, has been fighting fires at Cardiff City and Kortrijk this season, with the teams battling against relegation. The two teams are now safe in their respective leagues – the Championship and Belgian top flight.
However, the last fortnight has seen Kortrijk endure turmoil, with chairman Ronny Verhelst and general manager Matthias Leterme both announcing they would leave the club, citing an "unreasonable attitude" from their Malaysian owner as one of the deciding factors, according to Flemmish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.
