A joint Saudi-Qatari consortium are ready to bid £3.2 billion to buy Liverpool, but current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), will wait for other interested parties, according to The Sporting News.
Bid incoming for Liverpool, FSG stance
The report has claimed that investors from Saudi Arabia and Qatar have joined forces to buy Liverpool from FSG.
The consortium are preparing an initial bid for £3.2 billion to complete the takeover.
However, the Saudi-Qatari consortium are not the only interested parties in Liverpool, according to The Sporting News.
A coalition of German investors and an American consortium are interested too, and FSG ‘remain keen to hear from more bidders as they look to maximise any profit on the £300 million they spent in purchasing the club in 2010’.
Exciting
In our opinion, it is very exciting for Liverpool fans that as many as three groups are interested in buying the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are a global brand, and it will be interesting to see if FSG are willing to sell for £3.2 billion or would wait for a bigger bid.
The Reds are not having the best of times on the pitch at the moment, but Jurgen Klopp’s side are still in the running for the Premier League top four and are also in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
