Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the North American group that controls Liverpool FC, is considering selling the historic English club, or at least part of the capital, The Athletic reported on Monday.
The news comes on the same day that rivals Manchester City released results with multiple records: the club, which features Portuguese Bernardo Silva, Rubén Dias and João Cancelo, made £613m (€700m at current exchange rates) – second largest. ever in the history of the Premier League; the first team’s value was over £1 billion (€1,142 million) and profits were £41.7 million (€47.6 million), the highest in the emblem’s history.
In response to the news of the sale of the Anfield Road club, the FSG, led by John Henry, issued a statement noting that “there have been several ownership changes and rumors of a change of ownership in Premier League clubs and, inevitably, we ask about Liverpool.
“FSG often receives expressions of interest from third parties who want to become Liverpool’s shareholders. We have previously said that, under the right conditions, we will consider adding new shareholders if it is in the interests of Liverpool as a club.”
“We remain fully committed to Liverpool’s success both on and off the pitch,” he concludes.
