Chelsea takeover hopeful Stephen Pagliuca has revealed he expressed an interest in Liverpool amid claims he could make a renewed move for the Anfield side.
Pagliuca, who owns Italian side Atalanta and NBA team Boston Celtics, wanted to take over at Chelsea and was part of the process to replace Roman Abramovich before Todd Boehly was successful in becoming the club's new owner. He has been linked with a move for Liverpool and Manchester United with both clubs looking for new investment and, in the case of the latter, potentially new owners.
Pagliuca has been running investment fund Bain Capital for three decades and is a billionaire having taken over at Atalanta in February last year and is a co-owner of the Celtics in the United States of America's National Basketball Association. football.london's sister title, the Liverpool Echo, reports that Liverpool's owners FSG may prefer bringing onboard a 'strategic partner' rather than selling the club they have owned for nearly 13 years.
