FULHAM owner Shahid Khan will make a new £600million Wembley buy-out offer next year.

The American mogul withdrew his original offer for the national stadium in Oct­ober when it became clear he did not have the FA Council’s full backing.

Chief exec Martin Glenn backed the sale  as a way of generating cash for grassroots football.

But the issue did not get to a vote among the 127 councillors.

Khan believes a new, amended proposal may now get their support.

Glenn is leaving at the end of the season and has privately hoped  the sale can still be resurrected.

Khan, who also owns NFL team Jacksonville  Jaguars, left the door open for a new bid in October.

Back then he said: “I cannot rule out revisiting the opportunity at another time, when perhaps the Football Association family is unified in its views on the opportunity.”
