A bid close to £3billion was made to FSG for Liverpool from an unnamed party from the Middle East, as reported by the Mirror.
The owners, FSG, have apparently rejected the offer, though there are other interested groups from the region lying in wait in case John W. Henry and co. do decide to cut their losses following the backlash received in response to the failed Super League move.
Should FSG decide that holding onto the club isn’t worth suffering the wrath of the Anfield faithful, the possibility is theoretically available for an interested party to swoop in and buy the Americans out.
