Prominent US billionaires who had been linked with potential investment in Liverpool are in the frame to acquire an NFL team.
Josh Harris and David Blitzer, co-founders of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), had been linked late last year with a move to get involved in some capacity with Fenway Sports Group when it emerged that John Henry and Co were looking to recapitalise their Liverpool business through a partial sale.
Sources had told the ECHO back in November that there was some level of interest from HBSE in a Reds stake after the duo had been part of one of the consortia, led by former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton, to have taken part in the bidding process for Chelsea last year, losing out at the final hurdle to Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
