Liverpool owner John W. Henry is reportedly willing to sell the club, according to reports in the New York Post.
The 69-year-old is thought to be running a “passive sales process” for the Reds, only entertaining offers of over $2billion.
A source close to the situation has said:
It’s for sale if he can get the right price.
Henry’s company Fenway Sports Group (FSG) bought Liverpool for $477million back in 2010, following the turbulent Anfield reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
It was recently reported that Abu Dhabi tycoon Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nahayan made an unsuccessful bid for the club in 2017, with a possible Chinese takeover also mooted.
Henry has recently been celebrating the success of one of his other sporting institutions, the Boston Red Sox, who won baseball’s World Series.
The Red Sox actually lost money during the Major League Baseball season, although that is not thought to have any relevance to the situation at Liverpool.
FSG have been divisive owners throughout their tenure, with supporters often split over their running of the club.
