However, FSG principal owner John Henry broke his silence to declare that the club would not be fully sold and talks with investors are afoot.

According to The Athletic, FSG have discussed parting ways with 10-15% of the Reds. Based on a valuation of around £4 billion, it could lead to between £400-600 million being brought in.

The report said: "Offloading a stake of between 10 and 15 per cent has been discussed and should any interested parties share FSG’s £4 billion valuation of Liverpool, that would equate to between £400m and £600m."

Several parties have been linked with investing in Liverpool - from America, Qatar, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
