Liverpool have already been approached by at least one potential buyer after it was confirmed that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) had put the club up for sale.
It was first reported that the owners have put together a full presentation for interested parties as they look to sell the club - 12 years after initially buying the Reds. It is unclear whether FSG will end up getting a deal done but they are open to offers from interested parties.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been retained to assist with the process with FSG ready to sell the Anfield club. The American-based business group took over in 2010 with Liverpool going through a transition period but the Reds have since won the Premier League and the Champions League in their ownership.
According to the Financial Times, Liverpool have since been approached by one possible buyer as the process is starting to take shape for the Reds to have a new ownership in place. Forbes value the club at $4.45bn (£3.5bn) - the fourth-most expensive football team in the world behind Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
RedBird Capital are one of the candidates who could be interested in a takeover, given they already hold a 10 per cent stake in the club. Liverpool would also represent an attractive prospect to American and Middle Eastern investors keen to break into the Premier League.
On Monday, FSG released a statement confirming their intention to listen to offers as they try and offload the club. A statement from FSG read: "There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.
"FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.
"FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch."

During FSG's ownership, Anfield has been transformed in a number of areas to extend the capacity of the stadium, while it has become dramatically more modernised. The main stand underwent a £110million makeover which was eventually completed in 2017, while the Anfield Road Stand is being redeveloped. That £80m project will be completed next summer and boost capacity to around 61,000.
However, matters on the pitch haven't been quite as successful following their FA Cup and Carabao Cup triumph last season. The Reds have experienced a dramatic drop off this campaign and are currently eighth in the Premier League table, winning just five of their 13 league outings so far.
Jurgen Klopp's side invested heavily on Darwin Nunez, who joined for a fee in the region of £85m from Benfica in the summer, but the Uruguayan hasn't lived up to expectations so far. Meanwhile, Arthur, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay haven't had a desired effect on the team as of yet.
