Liverpool Owners Put Club Up For Sale
Liverpool’s American-based owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), on Monday said they would consider new shareholders for the English Premier League club having frequently received expressions of interest from third parties.
FSG, who also own Major League Baseball side Boston Red Sox, completed the takeover of Liverpool from former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett for 300 million pounds ($343.56 million) in 2010.
“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 said in a statement.
“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 added.
Since FSG took over Liverpool, the club won its first Premier League title in the 2019-20 season, while they have also reached the Champions League final three times under Juergen Klopp, winning the title in 2019.
Liverpool also won the FA Cup in the 2021/2022 season.
