Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the current owners of Liverpool, have put the club up for sale.

The group has owned the Merseyside club since 2010 and has overseen the most successful period in the Reds' modern history following the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015. With FSG at the helm, Liverpool lifted their maiden Premier League title in 2020 and their sixth Champions League crown in 2019.

But FSG have decided to draw a hugely prosperous and profitable era to a close by entertaining "interested parties" with a "full sales presentation".

Liverpool owner FSG open to putting club up for sale

While there have been murmurs of FSG selling up, the news does come as a huge surprise. FSG have played a big role in the success of Liverpool both on and off the field over the past decade, with the club's infrastructure vastly improving during their tenure.

FSG's exit will, obviously, leave a huge void at Anfield and filling it will be no easy task for any potential buyer. But who's going to purchase the Reds? Here are several possibilities.

 

Who could buy Liverpool?

RedBird Capital Partners

FSG sold a 10% stake of the club to New York-based private investment firm RedBird Capital Partners in 2021 which saw Liverpool's value rise to £5.32bn.

This deal was initially established to bring about financial stability during the Covid-19 pandemic, but RedBird may be interested in buying the club outright. However, they did purchase AC Milan in the summer, and many will question whether they have the financial might to buy the Reds as well.
