A consortium fronted by Steve Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy has emerged as the strongest contender to purchase Sheffield United, with recent developments suggesting that Hollywood filmmaker Joe Russo might also be involved, per The Star.
The news follows months of speculation about a potential takeover for the Blades, currently competing to get back in the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The key men leading the charge for Sheffield United are Steve Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, two prominent figures in the investment world. Rosen, known for his roles in asset management, has a strong background in the financial sector, which may signal plans to boost the club’s financial stability and development. Helmy Eltoukhy, meanwhile, is a tech entrepreneur with a focus on healthcare and biotechnology.
Adding a touch of Hollywood intrigue to the deal, Joe Russo, one half of the famed Russo brothers, was recently spotted at Bramall Lane in attendance for the Steel City derby victory. Russo and his brother, Anthony, are best known for directing some of Marvel’s biggest box-office hits, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. If Joe Russo does join the consortium, his involvement could bring both international attention and significant capital to the club.
