BREAKING: A joint Saudi-Qatari consortium have emerged as strong early contenders to buy Liverpool.⁣

⁣

Investors from the two Gulf states have agreed to join forces so as to avoid becoming embroiled in a bidding war for ownership of the six-time European champions.⁣

⁣

A joint Saudi-Qatari consortium are preparing an initial bid in the region £3.2 billion for Liverpool Football Club, and their vast shared wealth puts them in a commanding position as they look to complete an Anfield takeover.⁣

⁣

It is understood they have been joined in the early running by coalition of German investors, who are further along in the process of tabling a bid to Fenway Sports Group. An unnamed American consortium has also registered its interest in putting forward an offer.⁣

⁣

Were the takeover to eventually go through at the proposed £3.2b figure, it would value Liverpool as the most expensive club sale in Premier League history. #LFC [david lynch]
