QIA has abandoned discussions with Liverpool over potential investment after expressing a lack of willingness to commit ‘close to £2billion for a minority share’.
This update comes courtesy of a series of tweets released by sports finance journalist Alex Miller with the Merseysiders still awaiting a concrete offer from an interested party.

We can certainly understand the levels of nervousness ahead of the end of the campaign, of course, given the ongoing uncertainty behind the scenes.
It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that a situation where Liverpool’s value takes a hit due to a lack of European revenue hardly suits our current ownership.
