A história da Doyen Sports está por fazer e é inacreditável como é que nenhum orgão de comunicação social dedica tempo e dinheiro a fazer uma investigação profunda. qualquer investigação sobre este assunto transformada em livro vende como castanhas no Outono. Isto não vai lá com pesquisas na web com meios caseiros, é preciso motores de busca profissionais e homens no terreno.

Aqui algumas coisas que pesquei:

Lucas learned his trade under Israeli businessman Pini Zahavi, a former journalist turned broker of some of soccer’s biggest transfer deals. While Zahavi became known as a “super agent” in U.K. for brokering deals including Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s takeover of Chelsea, Lucas didn’t get attention.
About four years ago Lucas approached two wealthy businessman, whom he declined to identify, with a passion for soccer. He told them they could enjoy the world’s most popular sport, and make a profit from it. Three additional investors have signed up for the group’s second 200 million-euro fund. The money staked by the investors is a fraction of their wealth, according to Lucas.
“The group is backed from private families,” he said. “It’s very clear we have so many investments in so many things. So many billions in turnover. So 100 million it’s a little drop in the ocean. Now 200 million, that’s two drops in the ocean.”

A property developer and luxury hotel chain owner are among a small group of investment partners in Doyen Capital LLP, which has made bets on the career of soccer stars Neymar and Radamel Falcao, two people who have worked with the hedge fund said.
The families of Tevfik Arif, founder of Bayrock Group LLC, and Fettah Tamince, chief executive officer of Rixos Hotels, are investing in soccer, energy trading and other areas through Doyen, said the people, who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the subject. The fund’s managers include Arif’s son, according to one of the people.
Doyen is one of the largest funds making deals with cash-strapped soccer teams for a share in the future transfer fees of players. The sport’s European ruling body, UEFA, wants to ban the practice, citing concerns that it may interfere in the $3 billion transfer market. The funds have sought to remain low-profile in the world’s most popular sport, according to Sandalio Gomez, a professor at IESE business school in Madrid who teaches soccer executives.
“The investors don’t want to get into a controversy that will mess up their investment,” Gomez said.

Sobre Tevfik Arif

The Russian Mafia deck of cards includes both criminals well known to police and the public and those who have been able to keep a low profile. For example, the ace of diamonds — Semion Mogilevich, a former leader of the Solntsevo Organized Crime Group, one of Russia’s most infamous, a citizen of three nations on police wanted lists in four different countries. Mogilevich is on the FBI list of ten most wanted criminals and is believed to be the main leader of the Russian mafia globally. The deck includes Tevfik Arif as the queen of clubs, a former official with the Soviet Trade Ministry who has moved to the US to become a construction magnate and an underground head of a money-laundering network involved in financing terrorist groups in the Middle East and the former Soviet Union. Arif was arrested in 2010 for allegedly organizing a prostitution ring. The deck also includes characters like illegal arms trader Viktor Bout, notorious Russian-American Mafioso Monya Elson, and others. More than half of those featured on the cards (48 people total) are in the US, around 15% are based in Spain.


Deixo aqui a visão que tenho das contas do Sporting e que postei no Sangue Leonino:

Aproveito para referi, pois julgo que ninguém o fez, que o Sporting venceu na Madeira o Nacional para o campeonato de juniores, por 2-1.
