Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group continue to have an NBA team purchase as their next major move and aren't actively looking to purchase another football club.
The ECHO understands that FSG, who already own the Reds, the Boston Red Sox, the Pittsburgh Penguins and NASCAR's RFK Racing team, remain steadfast in their desire to add an NBA team to the sporting portfolio, with an expansion franchise in Las Vegas what they are holding out for.
FSG have been open about their plans to grow as a business, adding more teams and intellectual property in the coming years, with the potential for more football teams in Europe, the US and South America mooted.
