Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have refuted claims they received a takeover bid from Chinese investors.
It was reported on Wednesday that SinoFortune made a formal approach to the Reds’ hierarchy in February with an offer to buy the club for a price in the region of £700 million.
Plans to renovate both Anfield stadium and Melwood training ground were oiutlined in the proposal, in addition to building a number of club-affiliated academies in China.
But senior FSG figures insist that no such approach was made by the group, believed to have strong links with the Chiense government, and remain unwilling to sell Liverpool..
The Americans, headed up by figurehead John W Henry, have been in control at Anfield since 2010 and remain committed to their long-term vision for the club.
