Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have released a statement rubbishing a report from the New York Post which suggested that the club was up for sale.
The report suggested that FSG were running a “passive sales process” for the Reds, only entertaining offers of over $2billion, but that story has been denied by the club’s owners.
A Liverpool spokesperson said:
As loathed as we are to give a story of this nature a meaningful response, on behalf of the club’s ownership I can completely dismiss this unfounded speculation. To repeat once again, the club is not for sale, including any ‘quiet process’ or anything of that nature.
Henry’s company Fenway Sports Group (FSG) bought Liverpool for around $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.
