After his cricket team Kolkota Knight Riders won the Indian Premiere League 5 trophy, Shahrukh Khan is now planning to buy a football team.
The actor is in talks for acquiring a 50% shareholding in one of India’s oldest and most successful football clubs, Dempo FC, for around.30 crore. Negotiations are at an advanced stage and the deal should close in a week or two…
Dempo,fully-owned by a business group of the same name in Goa, made history in April this year when it won the ILeague crown for a record fifth time.
Khan,who co-owns Team Kolkata,the winner of IPL-V, has been a keen sportsman since school days. He has been trying to diversify into sports under the overall framework of the entertainment business run through Red Chillies Entertainment. Well we just wish that Shahrukh Khan this new venture brings him more money and luck!!
