The Premier League has decided not to reassess the legality of Newcastle United's takeover by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, despite recent claims regarding Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's significant involvement in the deal. Reports have emerged from leaked WhatsApp messages belonging to former Newcastle minority co-owner Amanda Staveley, indicating that the approval of Bin Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, was crucial for the 2021 buyout. The £305 million takeover, led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, was initially sanctioned only after the Premier League received "legally binding assurances" that the Saudi state would not exert control over the club. However, the Premier League believes that its regulations have not been violated and will not be revisiting the matter.
