February 20, (THEWILL) – Liverpool’s principal owner, John Henry, has denied rumours of a possible £3 billion takeover by a consortium from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, stating that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is seeking investors rather than a full sale of the club.
In a recent interview, Henry said: “I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC, but I keep to the facts: we merely formalised an ongoing process… Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?”
Henry’s comments come after news broke at the end of 2022 that FSG was considering putting Liverpool up for sale. However, he has stated that FSG is keen to add investors to the ownership group rather than sell the club entirely.
He explained: “We’re always open to listening to offers, but it’s not our intention to sell the club… We’re looking for investment partners who understand our vision for Liverpool and can help us achieve our goals.”
These comments align closely with a previous statement by FSG, which also affirmed the group’s commitment to Liverpool both on and off the pitch. The statement said: “FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch… under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.”
