Liberty Media, the firm linked with a potential investment play in Liverpool, have looked at the Premier League.
The owners of Formula One and the Atlanta Braves, Liberty have grown to be the biggest sporting empire in terms of the value of the assets they own, with Forbes ranking them at the top of the list at $20.8bn (£16.35bn). Fourth on that same list are Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group at $10.4bn.
The Reds owners have been in dialogue with potential investors ever since the door was kicked open to a possible sale back in November of last year. The process swiftly moved towards a search for a minority partner that could help bring both capital and expertise, with Liberty Media one of a number of firms that have been linked with helping FSG bridge that gap.
