Liverpool chiefs FSG 'open talks' with Saudi and Qatari consortiums over £3bn takeover

Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have reportedly opened talks with two consortiums from the Middle East over a £3billion sale of Liverpool.

FSG shocked fans by putting the Premier League club up for sale earlier this month. It's believed consortiums from Qatar and Saudi Arabia have expressed an interest in buying the Reds and contacted current owners FSG to make their feelings known.
