With Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group willing to listen to offers for both a minority and majority stake a change of some degree in the background looks to be coming down the tracks for the Reds.
While the position of FSG remains that it is a case of "business as usual", well-placed sources in the US told the ECHO that the Reds owners are "testing the waters" but that if the right offer came in, around the $4bn mark, then a conversation with an agreeable party could take place.
On Thursday the Boston Globe, a newspaper privately owned by FSG principal John Henry, reported that the Reds owners were now leaning towards the sale of a minority stake in the club, with capital raised identified for "player acquisition and capital improvements." Sources told the Globe that FSG while still open to listening to offers for the club, were engaged with a number of parties over investment and that investor would have to be "philosophically aligned with FSG’s fiscal tenets and team-building philosophies."
