Representatives of a half-brother of Manchester City's owner Sheik Mansour claimed on Sunday night that he is on the brink of sealing an extraordinary £350m takeover of Newcastle United.
The closest working associate to Sheik Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan told Sportsmail on Sunday night that a deal is 'concluded' between Mike Ashley and Sheik Khaled, an Emirati member of the family who govern Abu Dhabi.
The representatives also insisted that the prospective new owner is very keen to keep Rafa Benitez as manager of the club and that the takeover is expected to be done in time for this summer's transfer window.
