Liverpool owner John Henry has stated that the Premier League club is not for sale, but they do anticipate receiving some investment.
In November 2021, Henry’s Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who purchased Liverpool in 2010, declared that they would “think about new shareholders” in the club.
FSG chairman Tom Werner subsequently stated that the club’s owners were “investigating a sale,” but they may continue their “stewardship” for a while. In an email question-and-answer session with the Boston Sports Journal, Henry confirmed that they are talking to investors about Liverpool, but it will not be a sale. FSG has been receptive to investment in Liverpool for some time and has recently enlisted the help of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. American basketball star LeBron James has been a minor partner in FSG and a part-owner of Liverpool since 2011.
RedBird Capital Partners, a private investment company, acquired a stake in FSG for approximately $735 million in March 2021. Liverpool, who has won their last two games, are currently eighth in the Premier League and will face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday.
