Rangers Could Be Taken Over by 49ers Enterprises as Major Partial Sale of the NFL Franchise Emerges
According to a report from Bloomberg, an American consortium backed by the San Francisco 49ers are in talks over an imminent takeover of Rangers. This enterprise represents the investment arm of the American Football team, and also holds a controlling stake in Championship side Leeds United.
Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe is one of those who is touted to play a significant role in a potential takeover of the Glasgow outfit. This move to take control of the Ibrox club may not be the only high-profile and big money deal surrounding the California team in the near future.
49ers Considering Partial Sale Valued at $9 Billion
According to the Bloomberg report, the San Francisco 49ers, owned by Jed York, are considering a partial sale that could see the franchise valued as one of the most expensive sports outfits in the world. It is understood that they are looking into selling a 10% stake in the team, although the potential buyers are yet to be identified.
This detail underlines the financial strength of those involved in the bid to buy Rangers, as the 10% stake in the 49ers is thought to be valued at a staggering $9 billion (£7.15 billion). While there is no guarantee that the sale will go through, this news will surely excite Rangers fans who are hoping for a takeover that could help them close the gap to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers Takeover Could Provide Funds to Challenge Celtic

The fact that such a small stake in the San Francisco 49ers could be worth so much shows the size of the financial circle Rangers would be joining if a takeover of the Ibrox club is completed. This could provide the necessary funds for Rangers to assemble a squad capable of challenging Brendan Rodgers’ dominant Celtic side.
Many Rangers fans will be eagerly awaiting news of both the potential takeover and the 49ers’ partial sale, as these developments could usher in an exciting new era for the club. With the resources of the 49ers’ investment arm behind them, Rangers may finally be able to bridge the gap to their fierce rivals and reclaim their place at the top of Scottish football.
Overall, the prospect of a 49ers-backed takeover of Rangers, coupled with the potential $9 billion partial sale of the NFL franchise, has the potential to be a game-changing moment for the Ibrox club and their supporters.
Call to Action: Stay tuned for more updates on the potential Rangers takeover and the 49ers’ partial sale, as these developments could have a significant impact on the future of Scottish football.
