Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have once again been linked with the purchase of a Brazilian football team.
As part of their 'FSG 3.0' plan for their third decade of sports ownership, expanding the number of sporting teams in their empire is a key strategy, with the Reds' owners having acquired the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL ice hockey team for $900m back in November of last year.
An NBA franchise is also on their wish list, potentially an expansion franchise in Las Vegas in the future, although the unexpected availability of the Phoenix Suns on the market will likely see FSG take a look at its feasibility.
