According to This is Anfield journalist David Lynch, Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have been in talks with various groups interested in investing in the club.
Lynch says exploratory talks are currently underway with Qatari, German, American and Saudi investors who are interested in a purchase.
FSG announced in November that they would “consider new shareholders”, but only if it was in Liverpool’s best interest as a club.
CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs claimed last month that the club is likely heading towards a minority investment, which would mean FSG staying with the club.
However, the Liverpool Echo reported that the process could be “protracted” with no timetable for the arrival of new investment.
Lynch adds that “there remains hope that some much-needed certainty will arrive before the summer,” particularly with the talks still ongoing.
He writes:

The identity of the German investor is unknown, but Saudi Arabia’s sports minister previously stated that the state would support a Saudi public sector bid for either Liverpool or Manchester United.

The Premier League is the most watched league in Saudi Arabia and the region, with a large number of fans.
It is important to note that there have been no public expressions of interest by either party to take over or acquire a minority stake in Liverpool, unlike in the case of Manchester United where Ineos and its CEO Sir Jim Ratcliffe have declared that they are formally entering the bidding process to take over the club.
