Liverpool had only been up for sale for less than a week when the first serious interest in the club arrived in the form of Mukesh Ambani.
Fenway Sports Group announced their intention to look for outside investors on Monday and by Saturday Mirror Football was breaking the news of Ambani’s interest. FSG are understood to want in the region of £4billion to sell the club they purchased for £300m back in October 2010.
Ambani may be the first, but he is very unlikely to be the last person to contact FSG to express an interest in buying the Premier League club. Investors from the Middle East and USA are understood to be considering FSG’s proposal, which in part was prompted by the sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly’s consortium in May.
