Anfield 300[LNB]Renowned deal-broker Keith Harris claims an overseas buyer is considering making an offer of between £400million and £500million for Liverpool.[LNB]The former Football League chairman, who has had a hand in the sales of Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester City in the past, said due diligence has already been done.[LNB]Harris also said the party he was representing was not one mentioned publicly before.[LNB]"The overseas buyer we represent has completed due diligence. A huge amount of work has been done," he said.[LNB] "It is none of the groups mentioned in the press. The ball is now in our client's court to make an offer.[LNB]"I do not think the deal will be done before the transfer window closes this month but the next pressure point is October when some of the RBS loan of £237million has to be repaid.[LNB]"It may happen then. But in the present climate these things are impossible to predict."
