But a rumored $7 billion bid for the team may have a surprising source of funding: the Middle East, according to a report by Front Office Sports on Tuesday.
Per the report, a source close to Davis claimed that some of the funding is coming from Israel, but a different source said the money is really coming through the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which has controlling interests in sports entities like LIV Golf and soccer clubs like Newcastle United.
The Commanders were moving forward with a $6.05 billion bid led by Josh Harris and featuring NBA legend Magic Johnson as of late last week, and the sale has been sent to the NFL office for approval, several outlets reported.
