Liverpool takeover talks in final stages

Saudi prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah has revealed that talks over his F6 company buying a major stake in Liverpool are nearing in it’s “final stage”.

“Our negotiations to buy shares in Liverpool are ongoing currently,” he said.

“Meetings are taking place and we might be in the final stages in the coming days.”

Liverpool co-owner George Gillett also visited Riyadh to discuss the possibility of creating Liverpool football acadmies around Saudi Arabia.

Gillett and Tom Hicks refinanced some of the debt in the summer and have been looking for potential investors for over four months.

The duo met prince Sultan bin Fahd, president of the Saudi Youth Welfare organisation and chairman of the Saudi League, on Wednesday.

“The purpose of the visit of the owner of Liverpool Football Club to Saudi Arabia is to understand the sports industry,” he said.

“They need to learn about the facilities and the potential of the main clubs in order to set up the Liverpool Academy in Saudi Arabia.

“If the academy gets built, then young Saudi players will have the chance to train at Liverpool’s training ground Melwood.”
