Saudi Arabian sports investment company F6 have revealed that they are in talks with Liverpool co-owner George Gillett to buy part – or all – of his stake in the club.

"We have not reached a final agreement yet. We are discussing how much 25 per cent or 50 per cent in Liverpool will be worth," Gassim Hamidaddin, F6's deputy managing director, is quoted by Reuters as saying.

Gillett was in Liverpool at the weekend, and was booed by Reds supporters' group Spirit of Shankly at the club's Melwood training ground, according to The Liverpool Echo.

He was apparently accompanied on his trip to the city by Prince Faisal bin Fahad Bin Abdullah Al-Saud, the owner of F6, who was also seen sitting alongside Gillett in the Anfield directors' box during the Reds' 6-1 demolition of Hull City.
