Liverpool's prospective new owners are believed to be in line to hold face-to-face talks with skipper Steven Gerrard, goalkeeper Pepe Reina and striker Fernando Torres if and when a takeover is completed.
The club is currently the subject of a £300 million takeover by New England Sports Ventures, but the current co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are attempting to block the sale as they deem the price too low.
A boardroom battle followed with the controversial Americans trying to get rid of two of their board members in the hope of putting a stop to the process. But the matter of the sale is expected to be resolved in the High Court.
In the meantime, The Mirror reports that the potential new owners will make the retention of the club's stars as their top priority following a takeover, as one-to-one talks with Gerrard, Reina and Torres have been planned.
In light of the possible change in ownership of the Merseyside club, Spirit of Shankly - a Reds fangroup - spokesman James McKenna told Goal.com UK that it is "absolutely vital" that the prospective new owners speak to fans concerning their plans for the future.
And it is now claimed that the potential owners will not only speak to fans, but will also offer them representation on the board to voice their concerns.
