Peter Moore has reinforced the stance that Liverpool Football Club is not for sale.

However, the Reds' CEO revealed that the club's American owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) remain open to the idea of selling a minority stake in return for the right investment.

In late August 2018 it emerged that Abu Dhabi-based Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan, the cousin of Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour, tried to buy Liverpool earlier in the year.

The £2billion offer would have been the most expensive takeover in the history of football with Midhat Kidwai, the managing director of Sheik Khaled's conglomerate of companies, meeting Liverpool chairman Tom Werner in New York.

However, Reds chief Moore - who was speaking at a gaming business auditorium last week - insisted that Liverpool were not for sale although the club remained open to offers from groups or individuals interested in acquiring a minority stake.

"[The club] is not discourteous enough to discount people who say they are interested," he said, according to ArabianBusiness.com .

“The club has made it very clear that if the right partner is interested in a minority stake, they would consider that.”.

City Football Group, which owns Manchester City, sold a 13% stake to a Chinese consortium in 2015 for £265million and FSG could enter into a similar agreement for Liverpool if the right partner is found.

The Reds' Boston-based owners have transformed the club both on and off the pitch since their £300million takeover in 2010.

The appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager proved to be a master stroke and they have redeveloped Anfield with the new Main Stand as well as given the green light for a new training ground complex to be built at Kirkby.

This summer saw a major show of ambition in the transfer market with £170million worth of new talent added to Klopp's squad and the Reds have mounted an incredible challenge to win their first Premier League title this season.
