American businessman Henry Mauriss has had a £115m bid to buy Sheffield United accepted by the Championship club.
Mauriss previously bid £350m to buy Newcastle United in 2020, before a Saudi Arabian-backed takeover went through the following year.

Sounds steep to me, considering they're likely to still be in the Championship next season

Definitely a lot but they have what, 2 yrs of parachute money left at £30-40M pa and sit 6th this year after a good run.

Plus their owner is some Saudi Prince anyway so I assume not a distressed sale?

Would be tempted with a good bit of snuff

Be interesting to see if this actually happens , same guy tried to buy Newcastle and never produced the proof of funds.

£115m seems steep but you've got parachute payments and a ready to go Premier League standard stadium.
