 is open to offers for the Reds, the side it has owned for 12 years.

Mirror Football has taken a look at three options to take charge on Merseyside, including RedBird Capital Partners, a Middle Eastern state or a consortium led by Sir Martin Broughton. But another prospective buyer could be Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in the United Kingdom who has been linked with purchasing an English football club in the past. The 70-year-old, who is the chief executive of INEOS, is valued at over £10billion, so he certainly has the financial firepower to buy Liverpool from FSG. However, there are certain obstacles which could prevent a potential bid from getting off the ground. Crucially, Ratcliffe has ties to two of Liverpool's fiercest Premier League rivals, namely Manchester United and Chelsea. He grew up a Red Devils fan but also confirmed he held a season ticket at Stamford Bridge while speaking in 2018, when he was touted to take over the Blues from then-owner Roman Abramovich. "I am a season ticket holder at Chelsea," Ratcliffe told the Daily Telegraph. "Have been for years, although I'm a Manchester United fan really."
