Saudi boxing mogul Turki Alalshikh is reportedly eyeing a move into English football, with Millwall at the center of speculation. Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and key figure behind some of boxing’s biggest recent events, has reportedly engaged in talks with the Championship club, though Millwall denies any ongoing negotiations or intentions to sell.
This interest follows his recent sale of LaLiga 2 side Almeria to Saudi investment group SMC. Alalshikh fueled rumors by commenting “🔥🦁” on a Millwall post on X, hinting at a possible link. Meanwhile, former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan previously suggested he consider investing in Sheffield Wednesday.
Alalshikh has a history in football ownership, having run Egyptian club Pyramids FC between 2018 and 2019. With an estimated net worth of £2.14 billion and ownership of Ring Magazine, his influence spans both sport and media, making a potential entry into the English football scene notable.
