Liverpool are moving towards a surprise Middle Eastern takeover, according to reports.
The Merseyside club are currently owned by Fenway Sports Group, who bought the club in October 2010 for £300million.
Since then the Reds' value has soared and they are now said to be worth around £650m.
And according to the Daily Star, Liverpool are the latest club being lined up for a Middle Eastern takeover.
It is claimed a member of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour’s family has set aside more than £700m to buy Liverpool.
Mansour, who is a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, has helped put City on the map with his money and Liverpool could follow suit by restoring themselves as one of Europe’s elite with an influx of cash behind them.
Reports emerged earlier this month that Liverpool were in talks over a takeover but the identity of the bidder is not yet known.
The Daily Star suggest Sheikh Khalifa, the president of the United Arab Emirates, is the bidder but at this stage their identity remains a secret.
Khalifa, who is the half brother of City owner Mansour, is valued at around £30bn.
An injection of cash into Anfield could benefit Jurgen Klopp in the transfer window when it comes to bringing in world-class talent.
The Reds have been linked with ambitious big-money strikers like Bayern Munich hitman Robert Lewandowski and Borussia Dortmund ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
