Amid multiple rumours of a Saudi-Qatar consortium taking over Liverpool FC, the Qatari Royal Family responds to those conversations and this might not be the best thing to hear for the Reds fans.
Rumours of private investors from Saudi Arabia and Qatar were heavily doing the rounds, but sources have told ESPN (h/t Liverpool Echo) that the Royal Family of Qatar and the president of the Olympic Committee of the country are not in any conversations with FSG regarding a partial or a full takeover in any capacity.
• Liverpool will offer double the salary to Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat
• Juventus and Napoli enter the race for Liverpool transfer target Antonio Silva
But the American owners can win over the Liverpool fans once again – at least the section of the fanbase that expresses their discontent with their investment in the transfer market – if they bring in quality names in January and next summer.
A full sale of the club would be good if the new potential owners align with the city’s values and make us a meaningful competitor in the transfer market rather than a team that spends needless time and money on scouting players that are backed to be world-class rather than already established superstars.
Through Qatar Sports Investment funded by the Sovereign Wealth Fund, they own Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Qatar’s reigning family are no aliens to football ownership.
With their statement that they no longer look at Liverpool as an investment opportunity, it comes as a blow to FSG in their lookout for new owners.
