Speculation over Liverpool owner John W Henry's visit to the Middle East continues to rumble on.
The Mail on Sunday says Liverpool have been linked to a businessman with connections to Dubai's Al Maktoum royal family after owner Henry last week flew to the emirate to take part in high-level meetings.
Henry travelled to Dubai to meet Marwan Abedin, who is on the board of Dubai's biggest property developer.
Though Liverpool insist the meetings did not concern the football club, their former chief executive Rick Parry was also present and the trip meant Henry missed the Champions League clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, the most prominent match since his takeover of the club.
Henry flew to Dubai with his wife Linda on what the club say was a personal business trip. There he met Abedin, a man with close connections to the Dubai royal family who launched a takeover bid for the club in 2007.
