Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have made the shock decision to put the Merseyside outfit up for sale and are demanding an eye-watering price for the club.
John W Henry's group has put the Reds on the market and they could be in line for a huge profit having completed a £300m takeover back in 2010. FSG are expecting a huge return on their investment having put a £4billion price-tag on the club in the event of any deal.
Should a takeover be pushed through in either the immediate or long-term future, then that would see Liverpool challenge for the crown as the most lucrative takeover in Premier League history.
