Malaga could be the subject of a takeover from Chinese concern Double-Edged Sports, led by Wang Kangning.
Marca reports the group would assume Malaga’s debt, paying a total of around €70m to take the club from Sheik Al-Thani.
The current and prospective owners were due to meet on Monday but the summit has been delayed 10 days, although legal action involving Al Thani could be a hindrance to the deal.
