Liverpool turn down huge bid

– Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group insisted yesterday the Premier League club is not for sale after details emerged of a failed £2 billion takeover bid from a cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour.

Britain’s Daily Mail Abu Dhabi-based Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan approached the club over several months in late 2017 and into early 2018. He then made the £2bn offer that would have been the most expensive takeover in the history of the game.
