One of the most prominent investors in American sport are considering their options over a move for Liverpool, although they are unlikely to emerge successful.
The ECHO has learned from US sources that Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment (HBSE), a firm that has ownership stakes the Philadelphia 76ers NBA team, the New Jersey Devils NHL team and MLS side Real Salt Lake, among many others, are 'mulling their options' when it comes to engaging in a move for the Reds.
Last week it emerged that Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group were opening themselves up to offers for the club having engaged US banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to seek out potential minority investors.
