Flavio Briatore
A matter of days after the west London football club denied the story, it now appears certain that Renault boss Flavio Briatore has bought Queens Park Rangers.
Widespread reports last week said the 57-year-old Italian was in talks about a $50m deal.
British tabloid The Sun on Friday quotes QPR chairman Gianni Paladini and a spokesman for Briatore as confirming the news, with the deal set to be completed early next week.
"It's a dream come true for QPR fans and saves this club from liquidation," Paladini said. "Mr Briatore wants to do for QPR what Mohamed Fayed has for Fulham and turn us into a Premier League club.
"
Briatore's spokesman said : "Mr Briatore is looking forward to being involved with English football. QPR is a club with a rich history and fine future now."
