Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has outlined that he plans to hold onto his investment and even has the power to stop his partner from selling his share.
Hicks and George Gillett took control of the Merseyside club last year but there has recently been a lot of speculation that the pair are ready to make a quick sale.
Both are said to have held talks with Dubai International Capital (DIC) but Hicks reportedly does not want to sell his share.
However, it is believed that Gillett is keen to offload his investment to DIC.
Hicks has since signalled his intent to remain at Liverpool and also highlighted that his partner cannot sell without his consent.
"Not only am I not going to sell, my partner cannot sell without my approval," he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"So I kind of have the ability to determine the outcome of what is going to happen and I am right in the middle of that," continued Hicks.
If he does allow Gillett to sell his 50 per cent stake in the club, Hicks will have first refusal on it and could become the sole owner.
