fsg: Liverpool owner FSG prepares to sell shares in Premier League Club

The US-based owners of English Premier League clubs said on Monday that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) would consider new shareholders for Liverpool, who often receive expressions of interest from third parties.

FSG, which also owns Major League Baseball team the Boston Red Sox, completed its acquisition of Liverpool in 2010 from former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett for 300 million ($343.56 million). We are regularly asked about changes in ownership in EPL clubs and essentially the ownership of Fenway Sports Group in Liverpool,” FSG said in a statement.

“FSG frequently receives expressions of interest from third parties wishing to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has previously stated that under the right terms and conditions we will consider new shareholders if it is in the best interests of Liverpool as a club. It is in. FSG remains fully committed to Liverpool’s success, both on and off the pitch.”

Ever since FSG took over Liverpool, the club won their first Premier League title in the 2019–20 season, while they also reached the Champions League final three times under Juergen Klopp, winning the title in 2019.

Reuters has contacted Liverpool for comment.

Earlier this year, Russian Roman Abramovich completed the sale of Chelsea for 4.25 billion to an investment group led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
