Liverpool are in talks with Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra about investing in the club, according to his advisor.
The telecommunications tycoon is looking to get involved in football and failed in a bid to buy a stake in Fulham last year.
Thai national team coach Thawatchai Satchakul, who advised Thaksin during his targeting of Fulham, revealed talks with Anfield officials are at an early stage.
"They want to sell to us, and we want to buy. We've expressed our interest that we want to be part of their club," said Thavatchai.
"We are still in the phase of unofficial negotiations."
Other Thai investors are also thought to be involved in the negotiations and Thavatchai insists their interest in buying a stake in Liverpool is serious.
"We still haven't decided the details, but are we serious about this? Yes, we're serious," said Thavatchai.
Any proposed move for Liverpool would depend on current chairman David Moore, but he could be persuaded to allow Shinawatra come on board to bring more funds in to bolster the squad.
