Liverpool: Fenway Sports owners put English club up for sale

Fenway, the group that owns the Liverpoolconfirmed on Monday that it is willing to listen to offers to sell shares of the English club amid speculation that it would accept proposals from potential buyers.

Fenway Sports Group said in a statement that it remains committed to the club it acquired in 2010, greening its laurels.

Asked by The Associated Press about the possibility of Liverpool being put up for sale, FSG said it would consider accepting new shareholders.

“FSG frequently receives expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become Liverpool shareholders”, the statement said. FSG has previously said that, under the right terms and conditions, we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interest of the Liverpool as a club.

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

With FSG, Liverpool re-established themselves as one of the club football powerhouses in Europe, capturing their first English league title in 30 years in 2020.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has also led them to Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and League Cup triumphs since he was hired in 2015.

But it has raised the difficulty of standing up to Abu Dhabi-funded Manchester City in the transfer market.

“No one can compete with City on that.”, complained Klopp last month. “You have the best team in the world and you get the best striker (Erling Haaland) on the market. No matter the price, you do it… What does Liverpool do? We cannot operate like them. It’s not possible”.

It should be noted that this announcement of the sale comes after learning that Liverpool and Real Madrid will face each other in the round of 16 for the Champions League.
