The cousin of Manchester city owner Sheik Mansour reportedly failed with a £2 billion attempt to purchase Liverpool from Fenway Sports Group in late 2017 and early 2018.
Adam Crafton and Matt Lawton of the Daily Mail reported Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan's purchase attempt would have been the most expensive in football history had it been approved.
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner met with Sheik Khaled and may feel upbeat about the decision not to sell, with the Reds having since travelled to the UEFA Champions League final in May, when they lost 3-1 to Real Madrid.
