After the dust settled on the reveal that Fenway Sports Group were open to selling Liverpool for the right price, the talk has pivoted to one of a partial sale being the preferred option.
A valuation of around $4bn (£3.3bn) has been placed on the Reds, although it would take an offer in excess of that for FSG to be willing to talk. The stance from those well placed in the US, when speaking to the ECHO, remains that a partial sale of the club to free up some capital would be the preference, certainly for FSG principal John W. Henry, and for some of key shareholders with investments that haven't yet been afforded the time to mature.
Talk of the Middle East and rumoured interest from Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, which was denied by his offices, arrived. But it is understood that little has changed on the situation from where it was at the beginning of November, and with valuations of teams set to continue to rise, albeit at a slower rate that had been seen over the past five years, there is little need to rush for FSG.
