In Liverpool News, the takeover is the talk of the town after Fenway Sports Group decided it is open to selling Liverpool after 12 years as owner.
Interested parties are beginning to emerge after a whopping asking price of £4billion was set. Investors in Dubai are among those weighing up a bid for the Reds, while UFC superstar Conor McGregor has voiced his desire to take over at Anfield.
Elsewhere, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Britain's richest man, has decided against purchasing the Premier League club. Against the backdrop of a potential sale, Liverpool are in action against Derby County in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
Dubai investors plot takeover:
Dubai International Capital (DIC), which failed with an attempt to purchase Liverpool in 2007, is considering a $5billion (£4.3bn) bid for the club, according to reports in the Middle East.
Given the Reds were valued at over £3.5bn earlier this year, it will take a hugely-wealthy individual, consortium or state to complete a takeover. DIC fits the bill in that regard and Arabian Business reported it 'could be eyeing' a huge bid after being alerted to FSG's stance.
McGregor throws hat into ring:

Former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor claims he has already "requested information" about purchasing Liverpool.
The American owners of the Premier League giants issued a statement confirming they are looking for investors after news broke that they have put together a full presentation in a bid to sell to interested parties. The club's top brass have retained Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to assist with the process of selling the club.
And UFC megastar McGregor has wasted no time in throwing his hat in the ring, declaring he would love to buy the Anfield club - despite being a fan of arch-rivals Manchester United.
In response to a tweet asking him to buy the Anfield club, McGregor replied: "I WOULD LOVE IT! I requested my information on this, yes. Soon as I heard. What a turn of events! What a club!"
McGregor has been pictured in a Manchester United shirt many times and has discussed his support of the Old Trafford club. During a FIFA Q&A in 2019, McGregor declared: "I was more a player than a watcher back then, but Manchester United was my team.
"It was only the other day I came across an old picture of myself wearing that infamous grey United jersey, which I bought with my
"I was attracted to the success and winning mentality of the club and people surrounded by United. Irish legends like Denis Irwin and Roy Keane were dedicated to their craft and had that winning mentality. Roy Keane was one of the best midfielders European football has ever seen. Opponents would be mentally beaten before they'd even stepped on to the pitch to face him."
