FSG the American Sports Group have owned the Reds since 2010, purchasing the Reds for $330 million
As it stands, the club has been made available for sale, with FSG inviting offers. However, it is unclear if a deal could be done for the club.
FSG has overseen a return to prominence for the Reds and had become embedded in the fabric of Liverpool since acquiring the club. Guiding us through a stage of transition that has seen the club win it’s first ever Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp as well as the champions league in 2019.
The American consortium have several other sporting interests, Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB), the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL)and Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing (RFK Racing).
At this stage there are still many unknowns, but the news came as a surprise to fans. FSG has overseen a return to prominence for the Reds having become embedded in the fabric of Liverpool since acquisition.
When it comes to FSG the Liverpool fanbase is divided, with many believing that the owners have taken the club as far as they physically can, and the sell-to-buy model is no longer sustainable in order for the side to keep competing, whilst the other half of the fan base is pleased with the owners and believe they should remain at the helm. Yes, FSG have made some mistakes along the way but look what we achieved under the stewardship. In the decade of Fenway Sports Group ownership at Liverpool the Reds have added five pieces of silverware to their illustrious collection. Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA World Club Cup, FA Cup and League Cup.
In May of 2022, Forbes stated that Liverpool are the fourth most valuable football club in the world, with a $4.45 billion (£3.6 billion) valuation.
Liverpool sit behind only Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United on the list of most valuable football clubs around the globe. Behind them are Bayern Munich in fifth, Manchester City in sixth, Paris Saint-Germain in seventh, and the recently-sold Chelsea in eighth.
According to Forbes, Liverpool earn $60 million (£52.34 million) a season in matchday revenue, rake in $2.2 billion (£1.92 billion) in broadcast revenue, and have a new kit deal with Nike that is worth $39.5 million (£28.3 million*) per year plus 20 percent of all shirt sales.
Are FSG ready to cash out and invest back to the US in an NFL franchise.
