A bid to sell the Royal Liver Building for £90m by Everton's majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and his fellow investors has been put on hold.
The iconic building had been marketed by global real estate advisor CBRE since it was put up for sale for only the second time in its 111-year history in March.
The grade I-listed landmark is jointly owned by Mr Moshiri and is multi-let to major companies including Princes Foods, HSBC, Mott MacDonald, Grant Thornton and Everton Football Club.
