Title: “Red Giants on the Verge of a Major Shift – Potential New Ownership Sparks Speculation”
Rumors Suggest Controversial Businessman Eyes Persepolis FC Takeover
Unverified reports indicate that Babak Zanjani, a prominent yet polarizing economic figure, has expressed interest in acquiring Persepolis FC, Iran’s most storied football club. The speculation emerges as Bank Saderat, the current owner, is rumored to be considering an exit due to recent management challenges and off-field controversies.
A Wealthy Benefactor or a Game-Changing Move?
Sources claim Zanjani’s estimated $22 billion fortune could inject significant financial power into the club. His alleged long-standing support for Persepolis includes past contributions, such as funding the team’s bus and facilitating Ali Daei’s transfer without a fee during his managerial tenure.
A New Era for Persepolis?
If confirmed, this acquisition could redefine Persepolis’ financial stability, managerial structure, and sporting direction. However, neither Zanjani nor club officials have officially commented, leaving fans and analysts awaiting clarity from regulatory bodies and team leadership.
