Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has insisted that the Reds will remain one of the world's biggest clubs regardless of who owns the Anfield-based outfit.
Last month saw the first sign of reports that current owners Fenway Sports Group had placed Liverpool up for sale and instructed Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to oversee the process of finding interest that would be willing to pay the £3.7bn price-tag.
Since then, the Boston Globe, owned by FSG figurehead John Henry himself, has reported that the company have opted to try and pursue a partial sale in a bid to generate the kind of transfer funds that would see them able to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Newcastle United.
