Investment group Dubai International Capital (DIC) has spoken out today (September 15th) to reject rumours that it is on the verge of bidding for a Premier League club.
The investment arm of the Dubai government has long been linked with a move to buy out Liverpool's American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who are unpopular with the majority of the Anfield faithful.
And with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley putting the crisis club up for sale following a weekend of angry protests from Geordies, many observers had suggested that the DIC could be poised to move for them.
However, a DIC statement read: "DIC is not involved in any negotiations to buy Liverpool and is not planning a fresh bid for LFC or any other club."
"Neither DIC nor any other Dubai-based party is aware of any consortium or vehicle involved in a bid.
"DIC has not mandated [UK company] PCP to act for DIC in any matter whatsoever. DIC would like to wish LFC and its fans a successful future."
DIC attempted to buy out Hicks' 49 per cent share of the club in March, but the deal was called off after months of negotiations eventually led to a breakdown.
