John Arne Riise insists he knows nothing of reports that a Norwegian consortium are seeking to buy into Liverpool.
He said: "Jamie Carragher and some of the lads asked me before the game if I knew anything about the Norwegian takeover speculation, but I don't.
"I was interested to read about it, but I know how big Liverpool are in Norway and it is not surprising for me to read that there are people interested in buying into the club from Norway.
"There are 20,000 members of the Norwegian Liverpool supporters' club, so they would all be very happy if a group from my country got involved."
Liverpool have declined to comment on the speculation, but are believed to be aware of the plans being put together in Norway.
