Overseas investors are keen to buy Perth Glory from businessman Tony Sage, who has owned the A-League club for a decade.

The official Glory line is that “For Sale” signs have not gone out, but it is understood there is strong Asian interest in buying the club.

It is also believed that a $15 million price tag has been put on the club and interest has also come from European and US investors.

Rumours have been circulating about overseas interest for several weeks.

But the focus has now switched to Malaysia where a group led by Dato Chan, co-owner and chairman of Cardiff City from May 2010 to 2013, is understood to have been in talks.

There is even a suggestion that the consortium is interested in building its own stadium.

Perth Glory is in partnership with Malaysian football development program The Liga 1MCC, the brainchild of Dato Chan, through its junior academy and coaches.

Sage, who has poured millions of dollars into the club since taking sole ownership a decade ago, denied their had been any firm offers. “No intention to sell,” he said.

However, Sage did confirm he had been approached by a middle man from investors who failed in a bid to buy Adelaide United, sold earlier this month to a Netherlands-based consortium for an estimated $12 million.

“Three consortiums called and offers made. One was European with Chinese investors in a European club,” Sage said.

“Informal offers were made. When I asked about numbers they said the same as Adelaide. I was not interested.

“The numbers will double if clubs get control of an independent A-League. But the numbers are irrelevant anyway. We have a bigger stadium, 2000 more members, $1 million more in corporate revenue and a bigger population.”

Sage has said the club lost an average $2 million a year over the past 11 seasons and though it was frustrating not to have won any silverware he would continue to support the club.

“I love the club. It’s part of the family. It’s a family passion,” he said.

In a club statement, Glory chief executive Peter Filopoulos said there had been interest but Sage was not interested in selling.

“There has been plenty of interest from overseas investors to purchase the club and this interest has increased since the sale of Adelaide United,” he said.

“However, at this point in time, our owner Tony Sage has expressed no interest in selling the club.”

Glory have had a poor season, sitting in eighth spot, four points from sixth with four games left and struggling to make the finals.

Sage has continually said he supports manager Kenny Lowe, who has had to deal with an horrendous injury toll.

Sage has been an outspoken critic of the FFA, saying the A-League should split from their control because they had made a catalogue of poor decisions.
