This article in Arabian Business, quoting Sky News, reports that Qatar’s ruling family may be about to buy the fashion giant for $851m.

If the story is true, it would be the latest acquisition in a series of large purchases in recent months which includes four French hotels, Paris Saint-Germain football club, a large stake in Shell and of course Qatar’s investment in London’s Shard.
