Saudi-Qatari consortium 'readying £3.2bn bid' to buy Liverpool amid interest from German investors

A Saudi-Qatari consortium is readying a bid in the excess of £3bn to acquire Liverpool Football Club, according to reports.

The Sporting News' David Lynch claims that the two Gulf states are exploring the prospect of working with one another in a joint bid for the Anfield club "to avoid a bidding war" for the asset Fenway Sports Group made available for sale in November.

The information also reveals that the keys to the Shankly Gates have attracted interest from German investors, who are said to be "further along in the process of tabling a bid" to the Reds' American owners. It also claimed that an "unnamed American consortium" has registered their interest in potentially acquiring the 2019 Champions League winners.
