Saudi Arabian government speak out on potential Liverpool takeover

The sports minister of Saudi Arabia has stated that the Saudi Arabian government would "definitely support" private sector bids for Liverpool and Manchester United.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal said that there was a lot of "interest and appetite" in the two clubs, both of which have seen their owners open themselves up to either part investment or a full sale over the past two weeks.

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group expanded their search for investment through an equity sale to a willingness to listen to offers for the club a fortnight ago. It was a move followed by the Glazer family at United on Tuesday.
