Keith Harris, an experienced deal broker, claims an overseas
buyer is considering making an offer of between £400million and
£500million for Liverpool.
The former Football League chairman, who has been involved in
the sales of Aston Villa, West
Ham and Manchester City in the
past, said due diligence has already been done.
Harris also said the party he was representing was not one
mentioned publicly before.
"The overseas buyer we represent has completed due diligence. A
huge amount of work has been done," he said.
"It is none of the groups mentioned in the press. The ball is
now in our client's court to make an offer.
"I do not think the deal will be done before the transfer window
closes this month but the next pressure point is October when some
of the RBS loan of £237million has to be repaid. It may happen
then. But in the present climate these things are impossible to
predict."
