Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has welcomed the news that the Premiership club is poised for a £450m takeover.
Dubai International Capital (DIC), the investment arm of Dubai’s government, confirmed on Monday that they were in talks about a possible buy-out.
“I have talked to the chairman (David Moores) and chief executive (Rick Parry) about this and I was pleased with what I heard,” said Benitez.
“It is always good for a club to have more money and more possibilities.”
Liverpool, five-times European champions, have given DIC permission to carry out a complete study of the club’s financial records ahead of a possible takeover bid.
The proposed deal is expected to include £200m to build a new 60,000-capacity stadium.
This is very important in terms of the proposed new stadium, which is key to plans for the regeneration of the local community
“This is the latest step on the road of finding the long-term investment that the club needs,” said Parry.

“On the pitch, Liverpool remains focused on winning and, here again, this is all about doing a deal that gives us the long-term resources to do that.”
DIC chief executive Sameer al-Ansari said: “We hope we can agree a deal.
“Liverpool’s investment requirements are well publicised. Hopefully this will provide us with the opportunity to fund its needs both on and off the pitch.”
Both Moores and Parry stayed behind in Liverpool while the team flew to Istanbul for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Galatasaray.
However, the deal is not expected to be concluded until early next year.
DIC owns the Madame Tussauds Group and the Travelodge hotel chain as well as one third of the London Eye.
The company is an investment arm of Dubai Holding, which is owned by Dubai Crown Prince and United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Sheikh Mohammed, whose family is internationally renowned for its running of the Godolphin horse racing stables, is the world’s fifth richest man, with an estimated personal wealth of $10 billion.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum is a keen racing fan
“Already they (DIC) have demonstrated a full understanding of, and respect for, the club’s heritage and values,” added Parry.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum – ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
He will buy using his investment company Dubai International Capital on behalf of Dubai Holdings which already own the Travelodge Hotels, Tussauds Group (including Alton Towers) and 2% of DaimlerChrysler.
The people wanting to buy Liverpool are the government of Dubai, one of the richest nations in the world. It is a company run by the government of Dubai that it is being proccessed through but it is basically Dubai which is buying it which is a state of the United Arab Emirates.

no but he is foreign and with lots of money
I am not sure but he’s from Emirates.
It’s actually a Dubai state-owned investment outfit called Dubai International Capital. Not a single guy.
