The potential sale of the Seattle Seahawks could exceed $7 billion, following the announcement made by the estate of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen in February. Wyc Grousbeck, former majority owner of the Boston Celtics, and investor Aditya Mittal have expressed interest in purchasing the team, as reported by Sportico.
Grousbeck, who led the Celtics' ownership group in 2002 for $360 million, and Mittal, the CEO of Luxembourg-based steel company ArcelorMittal, submitted a letter indicating their interest to the banking team managing the sale. Mittal, part of one of India's wealthiest families, previously invested $1 billion in the Celtics' purchase in 2025.
While both Grousbeck and Mittal have not publicly commented on their bid, speculation among fans suggests they could be ideal successors to the Allen family. The Seahawks, fresh off their second NFL championship, are now undergoing a lengthy divestment process for Allen’s assets, with all proceeds aimed at philanthropic efforts.
