Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, has appointed two major investment banks to attract fresh investment and establish how much potential buyers would pay for the club. FSG has enlisted Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in a sales presentation for Liverpool which raises the possibility of its 12-year tenure at Anfield coming to an end.

The Boston-based company, however, is understood to have no immediate plans to sell a majority stake in Liverpool and considers the move an exploratory step at this stage.
