While waiting for the NBA to settle down in Las Vegas one day, Magic Johnsonn takes the lead since the former leader of the Lakers could soon become a shareholder of the Raiders, who had left Oakland in 2020. Already a member of the management board of the Dodgers, bought for two billion dollars in 2012, Magic could totally break the bank to win shares of this NFL franchise, valued at 6.5 billion dollars!
‘Former NBA star Magic Johnson is in talks to take a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders (NFL) at a price that could set a new record for sports deals, according to people familiar with the deal’ write Semafor’s Liz Hoffman and Reed Albergotti.“In recent weeks, Magic Johnson has assembled a team of investors to secure a minority stake in the Raiders, which are majority owned by the family of the late Al Davis, these sources said. One said the group is doing due diligence with the team. The deal has not been finalized and may still fail. »
This is not the first time that Magic has positioned itself on an NFL franchise since we remember that last May, he was part of a group of investors ready to buy the Broncos. The case had failed, and this time there is a real emotional connection with this franchise since it evolved in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1994, at the same time as Magic shone with the Lakers.
