Amid interest for a takeover bid from the Spotify founder, Stan Kroenke could be tempted to sell Arsenal for the right price.
The European Super League may have been aborted, but Arsenal fans are far from finished with Stan Kroenke.
The American billionaire’s involvement in the Super League was the last straw for many Arsenal supporters. They’ve grown discontent with his disengagement, disinterest, and monumental errors, and made their feelings known in a heated protest outside the Emirates on Friday.
After years of frustrations over his handling of the club, Kroenke is under pressure to sell up his shares.
But while his son, Josh, denied plans to sell in a fan forum last week, the Telegraph claims a £2billion offer could convince Kroenke to sell his shares.
Josh Kroenke has insisted his family are not looking to sell the #Gunners, but sources believe they could be tempted by a bid of around £2 billion. #Arsenal

Daniel Ek’s interest is genuine
The Telegraph also states Daniel Ek’s social media message about a takeover bid for Arsenal was genuine, and not some publicity stunt.
The Swedish billionaire, who is the founder and CEO of Spotify, claims to be a lifelong Gunners supporter. He is now reportedly ready to negotiate with Kroenke and make an offer.
But Forbes state Ek has a net worth of $4.7 billion (£3.4bn). Therefore, he would probably have to do a takeover with a partner unless he’s willing to spend approximately 60% of his own fortune.
As a kid growing up, I’ve cheered for @Arsenal as long as I can remember. If KSE would like to sell Arsenal I'd be happy to throw my hat in the ring.
