Despite the Merseyside club having established an aspect of stability under current owner John W. Henry and his American sports investment company Fenway Sports Group, a mystery bidder, thought to be from the United Arab Emirates, is confident of landing a mega deal.
A number of Europe’s
leading football clubs have successfully overseen a takeover from wealthy Arab
owners, most notably Manchester City who are already owned by Sheikh
Mansour, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family.
Sheikh Mansour’s wealthier half-brother, Sheikh Khalifa, who is the current president of the United Arab Emirates and is rumoured to be worth in excess of £30bn, is thought to be the man behind a supposed Liverpool takeover.
‘There is no Premier
League rule in terms of relations owning different clubs,’ A Premier League
spokesperson confirmed during the exclusive.
Liverpool are thought to
be worth an estimated £650m after Fenway Sports purchased the club from
previous owners Tom Hicks and George N. Gillett, Jr. for £300m in October
2010.
