Liverpool supporters will be worried that any offer from a Qatari or Saudi group will involve the involvement of the state. Due to its prohibition of same-sex relationships and restrictions on women's rights, South Arabia and Qatar both have dismal records when it comes to protecting human rights, Fans were startled when FSG announced the sale of the Premier League team earlier this month.
The Reds' present owners, FSG, have reportedly been contacted by consortiums from Qatar and Saudi Arabia who have declared an interest in purchasing the team, The government of Saudi Arabia will support takeover proposals for Manchester United and Liverpool, according to Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the country's minister of sports.
The Glazers, who own the Red Devils, followed FSG's lead and listed the team for sale. There is a lot of interest, appetite, and enthusiasm for football in the corporate sector, though I can't speak for them "The Saudi leader said to BBC Sport. "The Premier League has a large following in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding countries.
"If any [Saudi] private sector participates, we will unquestionably assist them because we are aware of the beneficial effects that will have on sports in the country. Nevertheless, why not if there is a backer who is prepared to do so and the figures make sense?" There has been interest in both Liverpool and Manchester United from other places.
While Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in Britain and owner of the Ligue 1 team Nice, has been interested in buying the Red, Jurgen Klopp's team has been in talks with a US-based bidder. According to Forbes, Liverpool is worth $4.45 billion (£3.68 billion), which acquired the Reds from Tom Hicks and George Gillett for £300 million twelve years ago, is anticipated to earn a sizable profit on the team.
