Liverpool could come under
Syrian control in the coming weeks.
The Mirror says potential buyer Yahya Kirdi flew to
London last week for crunch talks with the Anfield club's new
chairman Martin Broughton and co-owner George Gillett.
Kirdi, an International Unicef representative, is working around
the clock to pave the way for the £400m buy-out of the crisis-hit
Reds after a last-minute hitch recently left the mega-bucks
takeover hanging in the balance.
But Kirdi has come back with renewed determination in his bid to
do the deal so flew from his business base in Dubai for lengthy
discussions at a secret location in the capital in the past few
days.
The bold regime aims to sweep aside troubled Liverpool co-owners Gillett and Tom Hicks to wipe
out their current debts in excess of £350m.
Plans are already underway for a new stadium, as well as
investing heavily in new players to make the Reds a force to be
reckoned with again.
Former Celtic captain Andy
Lynch is working alongside Kirdi as they strive to strike a
deal.
And Lynch confirmed the latest round of talks were positive.
Lynch said: "Mr Kirdi confirmed to me that he had encouraging
discussions with both Martin Broughton and George Gillett.
"He is hopeful that the deal could be done very soon."
