Following the deal that saw a Saudi-backed consortium acquire Premier League club Newcastle United, reports emerge on how the Crown Prince acquired the most expensive house in the world for £230million, talkSPORT reports.

There had been a long-standing feud between the club owners and fans as regards lack of funding as well as the club ambition and fans urged Mike Ashley to sell the club.

The Saudi Arabia-backed consortium had a £300million bid rejected by the Premier League last summer despite that Ashley had approved the deal, but now they have taken over the club after a payment of £320bn.

It is a 52-acre property which is modeled after 17th-century castles in the same area.

It was gathered that in the same year, Salman paid $500 million for a yacht and a staggering $450 million for a painting from the famed Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci.
