Liverpool are in talks with a US-based buyer interested in a full takeover of the club, two sources have told the Mail on Sunday.
It is understood owners Fenway Sports Group have been involved in secret talks for several weeks after an approach was made for the Anfield giants.
FSG hired bankers Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to help them sell the club after the approach was made. Sources have reported that additional potential buyers have registered their interest since then.
Some reports have suggested that Liverpool’s price tag might be as high as £4bn, not least because Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea for £2.
