Simon Jordan believes Fenway Sports Group would sell Liverpool if someone were to offer £5billion - and the former Crystal Palace chairman added that the recent 'appetite' for high-level takeovers suggests there will be interested parties.
A report from The Athletic on Monday suggested FSG were inviting offers for the sale of the whole club, appointing two major US banks in Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to assist with the process as they look to explore their options after a 12-year tenure. In a statement sent to the ECHO on Monday, FSG maintain they are "fully committed" to the ongoing success of the Reds under Jurgen Klopp but admit they are open to the possibility of further investment from elsewhere.
Massive growth since FSG bought Liverpool back in 2010 for £300m has seen the club's value sky-rocket, with Forbes now valuing the Reds at £3.6billion. And Jordan believes recent sales of Chelsea and Burnley prove there is an appetite for a sale of this profile, adding that FSG would sell up for £5billion.
