The Telegraph claimed earlier this week that paperwork has been filed to the Premier League over a potential deal, and The Daily Mail have also revealed that Ashley is happy to finally cash in if the right offer arrives.
However, Edwards has chimed in with what appears to be a shot at the potential buyers, fronted by Amanda Staveley, insisting she should already know exactly what Ashley wants.
Edwards reveals that Staveley claimed to have made three bids back in December 2017 which were rejected due to the structure of the payments as well as the fee itself. He also claims it is “silly†to be haggling over the price if the deal is indeed backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Fans will have to wait to find out the extent of the current takeover rumours, but there certainly seems to be way too much smoke for there to be no fire.
