一位知情人士透露，香港商人黄建华(Kenneth Huang)希望本月底前掌管利物浦足球俱乐部(Liverpool Football Club)。
上述知情人士说，黄建华正在与该俱乐部的主要债权人苏格兰皇家银行(Royal Bank of Scotland)进行磋商，因为它提出了迅速达成交易的最佳、最实际的方法。
记者无法联系到黄建华进行置评。
上述知情人士说，根据提议，体育运动投资家、交易撮合人黄建华将收购利物浦足球俱乐部2.37亿英镑（合3.72亿美元）的债务，这笔债务的债权人是美国老板希克斯(Tom Hicks)和吉列(George Gillett)。
苏格兰皇家银行说，目前没有与出价方进行谈判。
利物浦足球俱乐部拒绝对黄建华进行置评。
该俱乐部是英格兰超级联赛(English Premier League)的成员，自4月以来就在挂牌出售中。
上述知情人士说，黄建华希望能在8月31日英格兰超级联赛球员转会截至日期之前达成交易，这样他就可以参与向球员买卖配股权。
上述知情人士说，黄建华由一只远东主权财富基金所支持。他说，交易越快达成越好。我们现在提出收购债务，不过最终是要收购整个业务。
上述知情人士说，如果交易成功的话，黄建华计划对球员队伍和一家新的体育场投入大笔资金。
黄建华是香港投资公司QSL 育联盟有限公司(QSL Sports Ltd.)董事长。去年，他牵头一批中国投资者收购了美国职业篮球联赛(NBA)克利夫兰骑士队(Cleveland Cavaliers)的少数股权和该球队的主场。
黄建华生于广州，曾在纽约的哥伦比亚大学求学。他曾帮助安排了中国投资者与NBA火箭队(Rockets)和纽约扬基棒球队(New York Yankees)之间的交易。
Hong Kong businessman Kenneth Huang wants to take control of the Liverpool Football Club by the end of this month, according to a person familiar with the matter.
'He is in discussions with the Royal Bank of Scotland, the club's major creditor, since it offers the best and most practical route to get a deal done quickly,' the person said.
Mr. Huang couldn't be reached comment.
Under his proposal, sports investor and deal maker Mr. Huang would buy Liverpool's debt of GBP 237 million ($372 million), which is owed by American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the person said.
Royal Bank of Scotland PLC said it isn't talking to a bidder.
Liverpool Football Club declined to comment about Mr. Huang.
Liverpool Football Club, a member of the English Premier League, has been for sale since April.
Mr. Huang wants to complete a deal before the league's transfer window on player transactions closes Aug. 31 so he could participate in buying and selling rights to players, the person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Huang is backed by a Far East sovereign-wealth fund, the person said. 'The sooner this deal happens, the better. We are proposing to buy the debt now but, ultimately, it is about buying the entire business,' he said.
If the sale is successful, Mr. Huang plans to invest a substantial amount on players squad and a new stadium, the person said.
Mr. Huang, the head of Hong Kong investment firm QSL Sports Ltd., last year led a group of Chinese investors to purchase a minority stake in the U.S. National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers and the team's arena.
The Guangzhou, China, native, who studied at Columbia University in New York, has helped arrange deals between Chinese investors and the NBA's Rockets and the New York Yankees baseball team.
