Saudi Prince Faisal: Liverpool Talks Nearly Finished

Mr. Gillette and club co-owner Tom Hicks refinanced some of its large debt early this summer, and they have since been looking for new investment in Liverpool. Both parties have said in recent week that possible investment by Prince Faisal has been on the agenda. Prince Faisal said “The purpose of the visit of the owner of Liverpool Football Club to Saudi Arabia is to understand the sports industry and to learn about the facilities and the potential of the main clubs in order to set up the Liverpool Academy in Saudi Arabia.”
