Liverpool‘s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have rejected a takeover bid for the club for around £3billion, according to the Mirror.

There are other potential bidders – mostly located from the oil-rich Middle East – waiting to see whether John W Henry and chairman Tom Werner wish to sell the club following the backlash from their supporters.
The Reds faithful have made their voices heard with banners and protests outside Anfield wanting the club’s majority owners to leave and sell their share in the topflight side.
FSG took over the hot-seat back in 2010 when they bought the club for around £300million and have helped lead Liverpool to an incredibly successful period under manager Jurgen Klopp.
They have seen a 30-year wait for a Premier League title end last season and also another Champions League triumph.
