Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton has revealed he hopes to sell the club by the end of the summer transfer window.
Broughton, hired by Liverpool’s American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to oversee the sale process, said he expected bidding to begin by the middle of this month.
"There have been no offers at this stage," he admitted. "But we're hopeful a deal can be done by the end of the transfer season [on August 31)."
Broughton promised fans his focus was on securing the best deal for the club, which would not necessarily be the highest offer.
He added: "This is a willing buyer, willing seller auction. We will do a deal with what we consider to be the best bidder. The best bidder may not be the highest bidder.
"It's about more than just money. It's about stadium development, the team and the whole piece. One we've been through the process, the best bidder gets it.
"There haven't been any offers to turn down and I wouldn't have expected there to be at this stage. There are a number of interested parties but there's no specific deadline on it.
"We are looking to the middle of July-ish for the first round of bids and we are on course, pretty well, with where we would have expected to be."
