Chicago Cubs owners the Ricketts family have reportedly expressed an interest in buying Liverpool.
Current owners Fenway Sports Group released a statement on November 7 stating that they were willing to listen to offers for the Premier League club, with US investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley assisting in the process and a full sales presentation prepared.
The Times report that the Ricketts family are amongst the parties interested in buying the Anfield outlet after deals to buy Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur failed to materialise.
The family have a net worth of $4.4bn (£3.8bn) according to Forbes, with the majority coming from family patriarch Joe Ricketts, who founded brokerage firm TD Ameritrade in 1975.
FSG bought Liverpool for approximately $345m (£298m) in 2010 and the club was valued at $4.48bn (£3.87bn) by Forbes at the end of the 2021-22 season.
Other interested parties include a consortium backed by former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton, that includes Brazilian businessman Michael Klein and are reported to have close ties with the club.
FSG insist that they remain committed to the success of Liverpool on and off the pitch for the foreseeable future.
