JAKARTA - Arsenal are reportedly preparing to welcome Spotify founder Daniel Ek along with three legends Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp as new owners. However, fans are also eager for Mathieu Flamini to be involved in this acquisition.
Arsenal supporters urged Stan Kroenke to release ownership of the club. Given their frustration peaked when club officials actually initiated a controversial European Super League tournament at a time when the Gunners' achievements were decreasing.
The Telegraph reported that amid the anger of Arsenal fans, Ek appeared, who claimed to have liked the Gunners since he was a child and wanted to acquire the London Cannon club.
The man from Sweden is estimated to have a wealth of around 3 billion pounds, equivalent to Rp.60.4 trillion. With such a fortune, Ek was more than enough to acquire the North London club.
However, Arsenal supporters have also urged the former Flamini midfielder to join the acquisition. What is the reason?
Flamini, who made 246 appearances in two spells with Arsenal, has not made a professional appearance since joining Getafe in May 2019.
Since ending his football career, this French man has continued to make money through a number of successful businesses. He founded the 'clean energy' company GFBioChemicals while playing for AC Milan in 2008.
After leaving Milan in 2013, he returned to Arsenal and launched a second business with Mesut Ozil called 'Unity', which specializes in eco-friendly skincare.
Illegal reports suggest that Flamini's net worth is around £ 30 billion. This means that Flamini is the second richest footballer on the planet: behind Leicester's Faiq Bolkiah, who is Brunei aristocrat. And, interestingly, in front of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Flamini has repeatedly denied these claims. Instead, he insisted that it was the sum of the entire market his business was trying to enter.
Goal, by contrast, estimates Flamini's net worth at around £ 20 million. This report is not new; there was even a joke at Arsenal that he could afford to buy his former club.
"Why isn't Ek hooked up with Flamini? A better chance like that," one fan wrote on Twitter.
Another quipped: "I swear Flamini has a net worth of like 30 billion, why wouldn't he buy us".
The third said: “Mathieu Flamini will not buy Arsenal - but he is the type of person who is needed on the board. Understands football, has a business background, but most importantly, the UNITY company he founded with Özil has a focus on sustainability and affordability. "
