American owners to sell Premier League giants Liverpool – media

Fenway Sports Group has placed the club on the market, report indicates

Liverpool’s American owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have invited offers to purchase the Premier League club, according to a report by The Athletic.

It is understood that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will oversee the sale process under the direction of the club’s hierarchy, with a full presentation having been designed to attract prospective bidders.

The news comes after FSG – which also owns the Boston Red Sox – had reportedly investigated selling the football club in the past but today’s development signals an intent to see through a change in ownership at the earliest possible opportunity.

“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,” a statement from FSG to The Athletic reads.

“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.”
