Kuwaitis line up £500m bid for Liverpool
One of the Middle East's richest families is in negotiations to buy Liverpool as the Arab invasion of the Barclays Premier League continues. It emerged last night that the Al-Kharafi family, of Kuwait, are planning a bid to buy the Merseyside club for £500 million as Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr prepare to sell up.
Hicks and Gillett, the club's American owners, maintain publicly that they have no plans to sell Liverpool, but they have been actively searching for a buyer for several months, with an asking price of £600 million. Gillett is expected to be the first to depart, but Hicks is also increasingly open to a sale, having authorised Ian Ayre and Phillip Nash, the club's commercial director and finance director respectively, to hold talks with the Al-Kharafi family this week.
