Liverpool Up For Sale

By Chimezie Nebolisa

English giant Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) said it would consider new shareholders for the club having frequently received expressions of interest from third parties.

The Group, who also own Major League Baseball side Boston Red Sox, completed the takeover of Liverpool from Tom Hicks and George Gillett for 300 million pounds ($343.56 million) in 2010.

In statement, FSG said: "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 would 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," the statement.

Since their reign, the club have won their first Premier League title in the 2019-20 season while they have also reached the Champions League final three times under Jurgen Klopp, winning the title in 2019.
