Liverpool Football Club “is for sale”

By Peter Nurse

Investing.com – Liverpool Football Club has been put up for sale by owners Fenway Sports Group, according to a report on Monday.

Subscription-based sports website Athletic reported on Monday that a comprehensive presentation had been prepared for anyone interested, and given the global appeal of the storied English Premier League team, there are likely to be many.

In a statement to The Athletic, FSG said: “There have been a number of ownership changes and rumours of ownership changes at EPL clubs recently and, of course, we are regularly asked about the ownership of Liverpool’s Fenway Sports Group.”

“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties wishing to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has previously stated that, under the right terms and conditions, we would consider new shareholders if it were in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.”

“FSG remains fully committed to Liverpool’s success, both on and off the pitch.”

FSG, led by American businessman John Henry, bought Liverpool in 2010, paying £300 million (£1 = $1.1450) at the time, and is aiming to make a significant profit on this investment.

EPL rival Chelsea was bought by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for £4.25 billion in May by a consortium led by American Todd Boehly.

Liverpool have won the EPL title 19 times, the second most in the league’s history, and finished runners-up last season after winning both the FA Cup and League Cup finals before losing the Champions League final to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
