Liverpool Is Up for Sale as FSG Releases Official Statement to Welcome New Shareholders
The reports suggest that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will assist to accelerate the club selling process. The owners are inviting takeover bids for selling their club.
But the details of the interested sides are still unknown.
According to Forbes, the club has a valuation of £3.5 billion in the current scenario.
An official statement from FSG suggests: “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.” But they also stated: “FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”
Back in 2020, the manager spoke: “The relationship was exceptional. It was from the first day, actually. From that moment on, we had a very, very good relationship on a professional basis and on a personal basis as well. With Mike [Gordon], we work closely together – that’s how it is.”
Back in 2020, FSG sold an 11 percent stake in the Reds for £655 million. Back then, RedBird Capital boss Cardinale also showed interest to increase his share in the ownership of six-time European champions. He stated in 2021: “We did not underwrite that with that as the goal”.
But the Liverpool fans will be concerned as one of the most successful owners of the reds in recent years will soon be gone.
The club secured the 19th league title after a long time just a few years ago. Aside from that, the ownership also oversaw the development of off-the-field. After constructing a new Main Stand, Anfield Road Stand is currently under redevelopment process. They have also set up a new facility in Kirby.
But FSG ownership faced a huge backlash when they decided to join the European Super League project in April 2021. In the end, they apologised to their fans for that act.
It may be possible that the latest Chelsea takeover has influenced the owners to sell their club to test the market. But the club’s arch-rival, Manchester United is rumoured to be on the same course. FSG’s decision to join Super League somehow indicated the future sale of the club before the latest official announcement.
