A Saudi-Qatari consortium is reportedly set to make a £3.2bn bid to buy Liverpool with the two groups keen to avoid a bidding war for the Anfield giants.
It is said that the two Gulf parties are mulling over the prospect of working with one another and tabling a joint offer for Liverpool who have been put up for sale by their owners Fenway Sports Group.
According to a report from The Sporting News’ David Lynch, it is claimed an unnamed Saudi-Qatari consortium is prepared to fork out a sum north of £3bn to acquire the coveted keys to the Shankly Gates.
Lynch also sounds out interest from German investors in Liverpool with the said business group in the process of launching an offer as competition heats up to purchase Liverpool ahead of the New Year.
The interest from the aforementioned Saudi-based group comes weeks after the country’s sports minister voiced his backing to a potential bid for either Manchester United or Liverpool with both clubs put for sale by their respective owners.
