LIVERPOOL FOR SALE

 In response to rumours that Liverpool is up for sale, the club's owners state that they "would consider new shareholders."

The Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which acquired Liverpool in 2010, is reportedly "inviting proposals," according to The Athletic.

"Remains entirely committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the field," according to FSG.

Liverpool, which finished second in the Premier League last year, is currently sixth.

They have advanced to the round of 16, where they will play Real Madrid in a rematch of the championship game from the previous year.

In a statement, FSG said: "There have been a number of recent ownership changes at Premier League teams, as well as rumours of ownership changes, and unavoidably, we are frequently questioned about Fenway Sports Group's ownership of Liverpool.

"Third parties have regularly expressed interest in joining FSG as shareholders in Liverpool.

As previously stated by FSG, if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club, we would consider new shareholders under the proper terms and conditions.

In a £300 million deal, FSG acquired Liverpool from New England Sports Ventures.

LeBron James, a professional basketball player, purchased a 2% share in Liverpool for £4.7 million in 2011, making him a part owner since then.

Since then, he has grown to be a minor partner in FSG, the company that also owns baseball team Boston Red Sox.

A private investment company called RedBird Capital Partners purchased a stake in FSG in March for around $735 million (£533 million).

After Liverpool pulled out of a proposed European Super League in April 2021, the club's major owner John W Henry issued an apology to the supporters.

This summer, Liverpool spent £64 million on striker Darwin Nunez, £5 million on attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho, and £4.2 million on defender Calvin Ramsay.

Manager Jurgen Klopp remarked in August, "There are times when I would be willing to take a little bit more of a risk, but I don't determine that and that's great.
