Jose Enrique has said on Instagram that he hopes that the Saudi Arabia-Qatar consortium buy Liverpool from FSG soon so that manager Jurgen Klopp gets the chance to sign new players in the January transfer window.

The former Liverpool star seems excited at the prospect that a bid from the Middle-East could come in for Liverpool.

A joint Saudi-Qatari consortium are ready to bid £3.2 billion to buy Liverpool, according to The Sporting News on Sunday.

However, current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), will wait for other interested parties.

The report has claimed that a coalition of German investors and an American consortium are interested in Liverpool too, and that 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’.

Jose Enrique on potential Liverpool sale

Unlikely Liverpool sale will be quick

In our opinion, it is very unlikely that Liverpool will change ownership anytime soon.

These things do take a lot of time.

They simply do not happen overnight.

The report in The Sporting News suggests that FSG are not going to accept this Saudi-Qatari consortium’s initial bid of £3.2 billion

They would wait.

Now, Liverpool fans may not like that, but FSG are a business group who will want to get the maximum they can for their asset, which is the Liverpool football club.
