The San Francisco 49ers could become part of history with a proposed 6% sale, potentially valuing the franchise at over $8.5 billion. Currently, their estimated worth is $6.86 billion, yet they trail the Dallas Cowboys, valued over $10 billion. The sale is expected to involve small portions being bought by Bay Area billionaires Vinod Khosla, Byron Griffith, and Will Deeter. The transaction requires approval from NFL owners, who meet next week, amid recent events where an 8% share of the Eagles was sold at a valuation of $8.3 billion.
If a proposed 6% sale of the 49ers goes through, the team would set a record for the highest valuation of any global sports team in a transaction.
The sale would be made at a franchise valuation above $8.5 billion, according to Sportico, which listed the team's value at $6.86 billion in its most recent analysis.
The York family, which owns more than 90% of the team, is expected to sell small portions of the team to the families of three Bay Area billionaires.
Earlier this year, the owners reportedly approved an 8 percent sale of the Philadelphia Eagles at a valuation of $8.3 billion.
