Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in Britain, has ruled out a Liverpool takeover bid in order to focus on his ambitions with Nice.
It emerged on Monday that owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is willing to sell the Reds after 12 years at the helm. The sports investment company bought the club for £300million in 2010 and has witnessed the value of its asset skyrocket.
Liverpool were rated at £3.5billion by Forbes in May and FSG has set an enormous asking price of £4bn to sell up. INEOS chief executive Ratcliffe is worth over £10bn, making him one of a select group of potential investors who could afford to take charge at Anfield.
