Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), chaired by Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is exploring the possibility of buying a controlling stake in Spanish club Malaga.
It comes amid a group led by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani joining the bidding process to buy Manchester United. The Glazers have pushed back their deadline to complete a sale of the club with the ownership situation at Old Trafford still unclear.
The Glazer family are exploring outside investment or a full sale of the club they bought 18 years ago. The Americans are deeply unpopular among the club's fans, with the Red Devils having gone a decade without winning the Premier League title.
