Liverpool Football Club Up for Sale As Fenway Sports Group Invites Offers

• Liverpool are looking for new owners after current owners Fenway Sports Group put the club up for sale
• FSG have owned Liverpool since 2010 and have overseen great success after decades of trophy droughts
• They were criticised in 2019 after they tried to get Liverpool in the failed European Super League

Liverpool are looking for new owners after Fenway Sports Group (FSG). The current owners put out a full presentation for interested parties.

FSG tried to sell the club in the past but pulled out, and it remains to be seen if they can get a deal done if a suitable buyer bids.

FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 from Americans George Gillett Jnr and Tom Hicks, who bought it in 2007 for £218.9 million. However, success evaded the Reds under FSG until they hired Jurgen Klopp in 2015, according to Sporting News.

The German brought their first-ever Premier League title and the first league title in 20 years when they won it in 2020. They also lifted the Champions League in 2019.

FSG, led by founder and largest shareholder John W. Henry, have released a statement saying they are inviting offers, according to the Athletic.

“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 added that they could only consider selling under the right conditions and as long as the interests of the club are at the forefront.

“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 would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club."

FSG added that it remained 'fully committed to the success of Liverpool', whether on the field or off it.

The club has undergone a huge transformation under FSG. A new £110 million Main Stand has been installed, while the Anfield Road Stand is being renovated. That £80 million project will be ready next year and increase capacity to just over 60,000.

The group has also developed a new £50 million training facility in Kirkby.

FSG wanted to trademark the name Liverpool, which was met with strong resistance. They also own baseball team Boston Red Sox and ice hockey team Pittsburg Penguins in the USA.
