• Club’s backers open to diluting 87.5% investment
• President Khelaifi under investigation in complex case

Qatar Sports Investments is considering reducing its stake in Paris Saint-Germain amid a row surrounding the indictment in France of the club’s president, Nasser al-Khelaifi.

The Ligue 1 club’s backers are open to further diluting their investment, which amounts to 87.5%, after Qatar reacted with anger to the latest proceedings involving Khelaifi. The 51-year-old was placed under formal investigation last Wednesday, in relation to a case surrounding a Paris-based media company, for alleged complicity in vote buying, interference with the freedom to vote and complicity in abuse of power, as part of a wider case involving the businessman Arnaud Lagardère. Khelaifi denies wrongdoing.
