The owner Robert Kraft agreed to sell 8% of New England patriots with two investors in an agreement that values the deductible at $ 9 billion, several points of sale reported on Thursday.
Kraft paid $ 172 million for the team in 1994 and celebrated three Super Bowl championships in the 2000s and three others in the 2010s behind the head coach Bill Belichick and the quarter-Arrière Tom Brady.
According to CNBC and Sportico reports, the billionaire Dean Metropoulos buys a participation of 5% and the sixth rue Capital buys a participation of 3%.
The sale of a minority stake is awaiting approval from the NFL and does not include the Revolution of the MLS Club New England. The Kraft family will always hold more than 90% of patriots.
Sixth Street is an investment capital company with more than $ 100 billion in assets under management. Its sports portfolio includes issues in the San Antonio Spurs, the Boston Celtics, the Giants of San Francisco and the Spanish football powers from Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
Metropoulos is listed by Forbes with a net value of $ 4.1 billion.
An assessment of more than $ 9 billion would be the richest second for an NFL team. New York Giants were estimated at more than $ 10 billion when the Koch family agreed to buy a 10% earlier participation this month.
