Fenway Sports Group put Liverpool up for sale

The Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is getting ready to look for potential buyers for Liverpool.

The American group has produced a presentation and hired Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to help with any prospective sales.

“There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumors of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool,” a statement to The Athletic read.

“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.”

In October 2010, FSG assumed control of Liverpool after purchasing the team from George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks. Since then, the company has overseen major transformations both on and off the field, including a brand-new training facility and a sizable investment in the modernization of Anfield.

FSG, led by John W. Henry, has received a lot of criticism lately. The Super League’s formation in 2021 encountered considerable opposition, as did attempts to trademark the name, Liverpool.

In May, FSG’s chairman Tom Werner said the group still had long-term aspirations for the club, but it now seems like the group is willing to leave Liverpool.
