Reports have emerged that Liverpool Football Club is up for sale.
Speculation over the future of Fenway Sports Group’s ownership of the club has been rife for years and now reports have suggested that the owners have put the Anfield outfit ‘quietly on the market’.
A leading American newspaper has made the claims, with John W Henry allegedly running a ‘passive sales process’ for the Anfield club.
The New York Post believe principal owner Henry is ‘privately entertaining offers’, citing an unnamed source, who says: “It’s for sale if he can get the right price.”
In June, Liverpool were calculated as being worth £1.45billion by American business magazine Forbes, but this report suggests the Boston-based group would be open to selling for over £1.5billion.
In August, claims emerged Abu Dhabi-based Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan, the cousin of Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour, tried to buy the Reds for more than £2billion.
The NY Post said FSG did not return calls, writes the Liverpool Echo.
But FSG have always reiterated the club is not for sale - but remain open to the idea of selling a minority stake in return for the right investment.
