Fenway Sports Group puts Liverpool up for sale

A complete sales presentation has been prepared for interested parties, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley retained to facilitate any purchase.

According to The Athletic, the sports investment firm has prepared a detailed sales presentation for potential suitors, while US banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been retained to assist with any acquisition.

A statement from FSG (to The Athletic) reads: ‘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.’

FSG acquired Liverpool FC in October 2010 for £300 million ($477 million at the time) from Americans George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks.
