Liverpool have been put up for sale by Fenway Sports Group, with the group inviting offers for the Merseyside club, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Ornstein tweeted earlier today saying: “Liverpool have been put up for sale by Fenway Sports Group. Sale deck has been produced for interested parties. Goldman Sachs + Morgan Stanley assisting evaluation process. Unclear if deal gets done but FSG inviting offers.”
The Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group, also released an official statement saying:
“There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.”
“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we could consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.”
“FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”
Fenway Sports Group have owned Liverpool Football Club since October 2010 and have received mixed responses from the fans throughout their tenure.
In fairness to them, they have introduced a level of stability and modernization that the club had been missing for over twenty years before they bought the club- as well as helping the club win every trophy possible since appointing Jurgen Klopp in 2015.
However, like many owners in England, the European Super League scandal will forever overshadow any of the good work FSG have managed to have during their time at Liverpool.
Who knows what effect this could have on the Reds in the short-term, with many believing no money will be put into the club until the sale is concluded.
