Liverpool Not For Sale, Owners Say

Contrary to reports, Liverpool’s ownership group have said that the club is not for sale.

Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who purchased the club for £300 million in 2010, was responding to a report in the Daily Mail.

The report claimed that Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan – the cousin of Manchester City owner, Sheikh Mansour – had offered to purchase the club for £2 billion at the end of 2017.

However, the offer reportedly did not make it past the vetting stage because it was deemed neither credible nor worthy of being put to ownership.

In a statement, the group said: “FSG have been clear and consistent in their stance that the club is not for sale.”

However, FSG is apparently open to outside investment.

They said: “What the ownership have said again clearly and consistently, is that ‘under the right terms and conditions, we would consider taking on a minority investor, if such a partnership was to further our commercial interests in specific marketplaces, and in line with the continued development and growth of the club and the team.’”
