Guardian: New York Jets boss Johnson closes to completing acquisition of 44.9% of Crystal Palace

June 20th According to the Guardian, Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets in the NFL, is close to completing the acquisition of 44.9% of the Premier League Crystal Palace Club, which will help Crystal Palace avoid being banned from participating in next season's Europa League.

Crystal Palace Club's 44.9% stake is now owned by Text, which is also the major shareholder of Lyon, France, and Lyon has also qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. UEFA previously questioned the above situation that violated the rules of ownership of multiple clubs.

It is reported that Johnson quoted the 44.9% stake last week, and although it is lower than Text's valuation of about 240 million pounds, Text is still inclined to reach a deal with Johnson.
