Speaking on RedMen TV, David Lynch has shared what he knows about a potential takeover of Liverpool.

The journalist broke a story about a potential bid from a Saudi-Qatari consortium last week, and now, he’s given a further update on the situation.

Lynch wasn’t willing to share where he’s gotten his information from, but he did say that there are twists and turns to come in this story and that there are multiple interested parties at this early juncture.

Multiple parties in for Liverpool

Lynch shared what he knows.

“I can’t give away my sources, but I’ve been working on this one for a couple of weeks. FSG are sounding out potential offers, and this is just one of many parties that are expressing an interest early on,” Lynch said.

“This is an interesting one due to the diplomatic ties and the huge wealth of these two states. These are described as private investors, but when you hear the words Qatar and Saudi Arabia, you think of big money and that’s no different with this offer.

“It is still early in the process. It’s not a done deal yet, there are twists and turns to come, but as a starting point this potential bid is massive and could be huge for Liverpool.”

Bidding war

If Lynch is right and there are multiple parties in for Liverpool, don’t be shocked if a bidding war breaks out.

The opportunity to own Liverpool Football Club doesn’t come around very often, and these interested parties won’t want to miss out on this chance.

Of course, a bidding war will play right into FSG’s hands as they will be desperate to receive as much as they can for their prized asset.

With each passing week, FSG’s decision to buy Liverpool in 2010 looks wiser and wiser.
