Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah says his F6 investment firm
is close to buying into Liverpool.
Kop co-owner George Gillett has been in Riyadh this week and
held further talks over selling his shares.
Prince Faisal said: "Our negotiations to buy shares in
Liverpool are ongoing, meetings
are taking place.
"We might be in the final stages in the coming days."
But sources close to Gillett's co-owner, fellow American Tom
Hicks, insist they are still a long way off coming to an agreement
with the Saudis, says The Sun.
Gillett and Hicks, who took over at Anfield in February 2007,
have been seeking new investment at the club since refinancing some
of its £290million debt in the summer.
