However the ownership status resolves itself, this summer is one of necessary spend for Liverpool in the transfer market.
Having missed the opportunity in at least a couple of transfer windows over the past three years, the Reds are in need of significant investment on the playing side in order to provide Jurgen Klopp with the foundations to push on to achieve the kind of success that has arrived at Anfield in recent years.
The need for spend comes at the same time when uncertainty over who will be the owners and custodians of the club for the longer term rumbles on, with Fenway Sports Group having engaged US investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to facilitate the search for investment while opening themselves up to expressions of interest over a full sale.
