Arab Billionaire could buy into Roar.

BRISBANE Roar directors are in negotiations with a mystery Arab billionaire who is eyeing up to 90 per cent of shares in the embattled A-League club.

"There has been a little bit of interest from an overseas investor," Drivas said last night.

"But part of the deal is that the current directors still retain some shares in the club.

"We'd like to stay involved."
