Yes, it's a team that Sheff Utd own as well as Hungarian side Ferencvaros and Belgian side White Star Woluwe.
Last I heard as well was we were trying to buy Sao Paolo, not sure where we are at with that though!
Tbh I think they would be better pumping there money into Sheff Utd than buying teams abroad!

You won't be buying Sao Paolo FC, I know you were on course to link the academies IIRC, where you would have first option on all rising talents.

In January 2006, Sheffield United became the first foreign club to take over a Chinese team[11] when they purchased the football club Chengdu Wuniu, based in the city of Chengdu, China.[12] The club was re-named the Chengdu Blades, after their new owners. Sheffield United shirts are now sold in China, and Chengdu shirts are now sold in Sheffield, increasing revenue streams for both clubs.
Along with this, Sheffield United also have friendship links with Brazilian club São Paulo, boosted by the visit of Pelé to Sheffield. Pelé was guest of honour at Sheffield F.C.'s 150th anniversary celebration match v Inter Milan, held at Bramall Lane.[13] In February 2008 Kevin McCabe, the club's chairman, finalised an agreement with Budapest-based Ferencváros to buy its football team, and also negotiated with the Hungarian government to purchase and develop the ground around Stadion Albert Flórián.[14] The development of a new all-seater football stadium with a capacity of 25,000 has been started. A match was played in Budapest to celebrate the link-up.[15]
The Blades also have operating/business and exchange of ideas links with Central Coast Mariners[16] of Australia and White Star Woluwé[17] of Belgium. The Australian Valad Property Group are also sponsors of the South Stand at Bramall Lane.
