A joint Saudi Arabia and Qatari consortium have emerged as ‘strong early contenders to take over at Liverpool, with investors from the two Gulf states joining forces.
That is according to Liverpool.com contributor David Lynch, writing for The Sporting News, with an initial offer of £3.2bn ($3.9m/€3.7m) expected amid what could quickly become a bidding war.
A coalition of German investors, plus a group from the US, are also said to be interested in taking over at Liverpool and despite a report from the Boston Globe earlier in the week that a partial sale could be the preferred outcome for FSG at this stage, a full sale has always been on the table since their decision to place the Reds up for sale was revealed.
Both options are possible and one is not likely to be a much quicker route to a resolution than the other, with plenty of due diligence required before FSG sign off on any solution.
