Liverpool Owners Already in Talks to Sell the Club
New broke a few days ago about the Fenway Sports Group’s intention to sell Liverpool and the club owners have reportedly entered into negotiations with a potential American suitor.
As reported by Marca, FSG hired Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to advise them on the sale process and are currently in talks with potential buyers.
According to the Daily Mail, since FSG put Liverpool up for sale, several parties have expressed their interest in acquiring the Premier League giants.
The company has reportedly reached an agreement to sell the club for £2.7 billion, making huge profit as they paid £300 million for the takeover back in 2010. In addition, they do not rule out an auction to increase the club’s value.
“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,” read FSG’s statement last week.
“FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”
Possible Buyers
Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and Boston Celtics boss Steve Pagliuca have already been linked with a potential Liverpool takeover.
Also, according to reports in the Middle East, Dubai International Capital are also interested buying the Reds after failing to acquire the club in 2007.
