Chinese investment group Everbright are ready to value Liverpool Football Club in excess of £1 billion as they remain intent on making an investment in the club.
The news was first reported on Bloomberg, but has since been picked up by the Echo. A source who was “familiar” with the deal allegedly leaked the news to the business news site.
Apparently, the group are willing to increase their valuation from £750 million to £1 billion, despite denying any interest less than 24 hours previously.

The valuation would be in line with how famous magazine Forbes values the club; they value us at £1.16 billion, an increase of 58 perecent in the last 12 months alone.
FSG bought the club for just club for £300million six years ago, saving us from administration in the process. Last month Tom Werner confirmed they were open to listening to offers for minority stakes in the club.
