Billionaire from Singapore Peter Lim continues the battle for the club and offers £320 million in cash for it.
This exceeds the offer of £300 million from the American company New England Sports Ventures (NESV), which has been considered the favorite to take over the team's management so far.
Furthermore, according to the BBC, Lim is ready to immediately allocate £40 million to acquire new footballers.
This offer from Singapore coincides with a court case that started on Tuesday in London, where it will be clarified whether the club can be sold without the consent of the current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett by the chairman of the board, Martin Broughton, together with two colleagues - Christian Purslow and commercial director Ian Ayre.
It was these three board members' votes that exceeded Hicks and Gillett's objections, which arose because they believed the price offered by NESV was too low. The Americans did not intend to give up and tried to dismiss Ayre and Purslow, replacing them in the board with close associates, but this attempt was blocked by Broughton. He claims to have written evidence that owners cannot change the composition of the board because they owe money to a Scottish bank. This dispute is being resolved in court.
If the sale of the club does not happen by Friday, the mentioned bank could take over the club's management and sell it at its discretion, which, according to the Premier League rules, would most likely result in a deduction of 9 points from Liverpool's account in the English championship. Then the Liverpool team's account would have -3 points.
