Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton has revealed the club have not yet received any bids since they were put up for sale in May by co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
There has been much speculation about who is interested in taking over from the American pair, who finally admitted two months ago they had taken the Reds as far as they could after three turbulent years.
Broughton: "There have not been any offers at this stage.
"There haven't been any offers to turn down and I wouldn't have expected there to have been at this stage.
"There are a number of interested parties but there's no specific deadline on it.
"We're hopeful - and I wouldn't put it any stronger than that - that a deal can be done by the end of the transfer season."
