One of the wealthiest people in Russia Alisher Usmanov has already made an offer to the American Stan Cronke. According to the Financial Times, Alisher Usmanov does not like the state of affairs in the Arsenal. His American colleague, who owns 67% of the shares, does not invest in the development of the club, which contributes to the decline in the level of popularity of the "Gunners". Recall, the Russian owns 30% of the club's shares and, according to the publication, he will do his best to bring his share to 97%. It is reported that two weeks ago Usmanov had already made a proposal to Kronke to sell its stake for 1. $ 3 billion.

Stan did not immediately reject the proposal, but then made it clear that he was not interested in selling his stake to someone. According to the source of the Financial Times, two weeks ago it seemed that the deal was possible, but now he is not sure of it. Note that in April this year, in an interview with Bloomberg, Usmanov said that the blame for the unsuccessful results of the club lies not only on the head coach Arsen Venger, but also on Kronka with the board of directors.
