Jamie Carragher has conceded Liverpool supporters could be faced with a moral dilemma regarding the future ownership of the club.
It emerged at the start of last month that Fenway Sports Group were potentially open to sanctioning a full sale of the Reds, though the ECHO understands selling an equity stake in the club to a 'strategic partner' remains a possible option.
A number of names have been linked with launching formal takeover offers for Liverpool, whose price is set at a premium rate for potential buyers. Any submitted proposal under $4bn (£3.3bn) is unlikely to spark serious conversations.
