This was reported by the Herald of Aragon, who also mentioned that the buyer would be a sovereign wealth fund Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that is, from public investment in this case would be the Emir Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The purchase price would be worth three million euros (3.9 billion) but would fall if the Zaragoza descend into the Second Division in Spain. In turn, the new owners assume the existing debt of Aragon club amounting to 130.9 million euros (170.17 million dollars). Should make the sale, Zaragoza suffer changes in their internal structure, where the current president and majority shareholder, Agapito Iglesias, remain in office only until the end of the season and would be replaced by Javier Abad, major employer locally.
