In a carefully-constructed 91-word statement, Fenway Sports Group have confirmed they are open to offers for Liverpool while balancing on a fine line that underlines their commitment to ensuring the team’s continued on-field success.
Effectively, as first reported by The Athletic, they are saying: the club is for sale but only at the right price and there may also be the potential to buy a minority stake.
This is not a firesale but John Henry’s willingness to consider bids for the club his group purchased 12 years ago should not be that surprising considering the keys to Anfield cost them £300m and a rival Premier League club sold to US-based investors for £2.5bn earlier this year.
