Wang Jianlin, the richest man in China
has denied making a move to take over Premier league club Southampton. Jianlin,
the owner of Wanda Group has come out and rubbished claims that he is set
to launch £175m takeover of the south coast outfit.
This is the second time that the group has been
linked with a takeover having previously linked with Serie A club Roma.
In a statement, the Group, said:
"Recently
it was brought to Dalian Wanda Group's attention by a Sunday Mirror's report
about Wanda’s acquisition of Southampton Football Club.
"We
hereby clarify that: No individual from Wanda Group has ever been in
contact with Southampton Football Club, nor has any individual or third party
organization been appointed on behalf of the Wanda Group to engage in contact
with Southampton regarding any matters related to the acquisition of
Southampton football club.
"The Sunday Mirror's report is purely
imaginary and completely inconsistent with the actual facts."
