It has emerged that RedBird Capital, the investment firm that owns an 11 per cent stake in Fenway Sports Group, are not in talks to increase their shares in the group that owns Liverpool.
FSG, which announced that it was open to selling the club or welcoming outside investment back in November, has been at the helm on Merseyside since it completed a £300million takeover of the Reds back in October 2010. It was claimed earlier this week that FSG's stance over a sale had softened, with the American sports group leaning towards finding another minority stakeholder rather than sanctioning a full-scale sale.
However, it remains to be seen if its preferred option will materialise, with the Liverpool ECHO claiming that RedBird Capital is not planning to enter discussions over a deal that would see it increase its shareholding in Liverpool to around 30 per cent.
