Meet The Playboy Model And Agent Who Wants To Buy A Football Club

A former Playboy star and current football agent is looking to buy her very own football club.

Anamaria Prodan is interested in purchasing Romanian side FC Hermannstadt according to gsp.ro, despite the club reportedly racking up a debt of £630,000.

The 47-year-old is married to former Romanian midfielder Laurentiu Reghecampf and has ties to the club.

When asked what she would be investing in next following the coronavirus pandemic, she reportedly replied 'with a smile on her face': "I don't know, I'm thinking of buying a football club."

Hermannstadt are currently 10th in the league table and have won one of their last five games.

Per Daily Star, Prodan last posed in Playboy 12 years ago but still cuts a defiant figure when discussing modelling.

"I see nothing wrong with modelling for adult magazines and I would even let my daughter do it if they wanted to," she explained.

"No one can stop me."

In terms of takeovers, most football fans will be looking to Newcastle United at the moment.

It was revealed earlier this week that the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's bid could be in huge doubt, thanks to a ruling by the World Trade Organization

Mike Ashley has been waiting to sell Newcastle for some time and the potential new owners have been waiting for over two months from the league for approval to complete the deal.

However The Guardian have reported the deal could now be in danger of being stopped by the Premier League.

It all comes down to illegal pirating of the league's television coverage in Saudi Arabia through a company called beoutQ.

The newspaper says that the WTO's report into the matter, which won't be published until next month, has ruled that the country's government is behind the illegal pirate service.

The 130 page report, which has already been sent to the league, also shows that the Premier League has made submissions against Saudi Arabia as part of the legal process.

Nine local legal firms in the Middle East have refused to take on the case for England's top tier, as well as FIFA, UEFA, La Liga and others who have also tried to start proceedings against beoutQ.

WTO's report will cast huge doubts over the league accepting the bid to take over Newcastle, which would see Saudi's PIF own 80% of the club, as it could mean the new owners failing the fit and proper persons test.
