Dubai International Capital have moved to quell speculation they are still interested in buying Liverpool or considering a move to buy-out Newcastle’s troubled owner Mike Ashley.
DIC released a statement claiming they have ended their interest in acquiring Liverpool and are not looking to invest in any other football club.
The statement also seems to preclude Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum from pursuing a bid for The Reds as a private venture.
The DIC statement reads: "Following inaccurate speculation regarding DIC and Liverpool FC, DIC can confirm that it is not involved in any negotiations to buy LFC and can confirm that it is not planning a fresh bid for LFC or any other football club.
"Nor is DIC or any other Dubai-based party aware of any consortium or vehicle involved in a bid.
"DIC has not mandated PCP to act for DIC or to act for them in any matter
whatsoever. DIC would like to wish LFC and its fans a successful future."
