Liverpool owner John Henry has insisted that he has no plans to sell the club.
It was revealed back in November that Reds owners Fenway Sports Group were looking for new investment.
This came as they sought to recapitalise the business ahead what could be a costly period but there were also reports that a full sale was being considered.
The Reds are valued at around £3.75bn and several potential groups and investors have been linked since , including consortiums from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
However, Henry, who rarely speaks out publicly, has said that a sale will not be happening any time in the near future.

Henry allowed for some questions via email from Boston Red Sox reporters ahead of the first day of spring training in Florida.
‘I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC (Liverpool Football Club), but I keep to the facts: we merely formalized an ongoing process,’ he said.
‘Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes.
‘Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?’.
Until now the full intentions of the ownership group have remained unclear, with FSG reportedly yet to receive any formal offers for either a minority or majority stake in the club.
Many Liverpool fans are unhappy with the club’s ownership and are demanding a change
