KKR in talks to score with £2.4bn deal for Six Nations Rugby investor
- KKR is in advanced talks to buy a stake in Global Sport Group, valuing the deal at about €2.75 billion (£2.4 billion).
- GSG owns stakes in Six Nations Rugby, women's tennis, and major football leagues in France and Spain.

- CVC previously expanded its sports footprint after acquiring Equine Network, a large US equestrian league.
- The investment aims to maximise commercial potential through media and sponsorship rights deals.
- The deal would enable CVC to pursue longer-term ownership of premium sports assets.
- The relationship between KKR and GSG signals growing private capital interest in elite sports.
