Liverpool Football Club owners Fenway Sports Group put Premier League side up for sale

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have revealed that they have put the club up for sale.

The American business, fronted by John W. Henry, purchased the English Premier League club in 2010 and have presided over a successful spell in Liverpool’s history but have now decided to listen to offers from potential new owners.

The group have engaged Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to assist with the sale, according to The Athletic.

A statement to the sports news website from FSG read: “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 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.”

Under FSG’s ownership, Liverpool appointed Jurgen Klopp as manager and the club ended a 30-year wait for the league title when they became Premier League winners in the 2019-20 season.

The Reds also won the Champions League in 2019 and have enjoyed FA Cup and League Cup success.
