Shrewsbury Town are in talks with an American consortium over a potential takeover of the League Two club.
BBC Radio Shropshire reports that Salop are negotiating with a US-based group and that other interested parties are also believed to be lining up potential bids.
Long-serving owner Roland Wycherley has been looking for a buyer since September 2024 and has had a number of prospective deals fall through over the past 12 months.
After negotiations with another potential American buyer ended in March 2025, a second bid from a different party six months later also collapsed.
In November, Town chief executive Liam Dooley said the club had been talking to several parties but none had put up any money so no "periods of exclusivity" were agreed.
He added that he believed interest in buying the club was still "very real".
Despite a difficult season on the field, Shrewsbury secured their League Two status on Saturday with three games to spare with a 1-0 win against Oldham.
