Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos has reportedly emerged as the newest bidder in a potential sale of the Washington Commanders, NFL sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Adam Schefter on Wednesday (March 22).

Apostolopoulos reportedly toured FedEx Field and the Commanders' training facility amid interest in purchasing the NFL franchise, sources told ESPN. The Toronto native has also reportedly had discussions to purchase the NBA's Charlotte Hornets from Basketball Hall of Famer and majority owner Michael Jordan, but is said to now be focused on the sale of the Commanders, sources confirmed.

Two other known bidders for the Washington franchise include groups led by Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils co-owner Josh Harris -- which also reportedly includes Basketball Hall of Famer Earvin 'Magic' Johnson -- and Houston Rockets owner Tillman Fertitta.
