Liverpool's American owners will not sell the club for a knockdown price.
The Mail on Sunday says club sources claim that, despite the July deadline to renegotiate the huge loans which financed their takeover two years ago, American pair Tom Hicks and George Gillett are not actively seeking to sell and will not do so unless the price is right and they consider the would-be owners to be suitable.
Several parties are understood to have approached Hicks and Gillett, but there is no deal on the table.
